George and Kathy came to my house one year evacuating from a hurricane. He did not like being around a whole lot of people so he sat in his truck as the hurricane passed over us. My husband (George's brother in law) was watching out the door at the weather. A small tree started falling and Joseph hollered "George watch out for that tree" Lol of course that is a line from the movie George of the Jungle. You had to be there but it was hilarious. We will miss you George. RIP. God gained another angel.
