George sure was a great guy. I will never forget when he stopped along the expressway to help me change a flat tire and followed me to the gas station to make sure there was enough air in the tire. That is only one example of the greatful things that George has done for others. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. PAT MISAK DRAKE

George Kowalczyk was a special guy. He had heart of gold and was a friend to everyone. He always wore a big smile and usually had a colorful saying fitting the situation that Daryl and I fondly called "Georgeism's". Our deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers are with Sandy, their children, and grandchildren. He will be missed. Sandy and Daryl Barnaby Daryl and Sandy Barnaby

We are going to miss George at the Lions Club, he was alway fun to have around. We enjoyed his laugh and valued his input to the club, and the work he did to better his community. He was the first person to stop by my house and welcome me and my family to the community when we moved here 20 years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Terry Churches
