My sincere sympathy for George’s family. He was my first supervisor when I hired in at Kammer plant in 1983. George was always a gentleman. I think he had worked at Tidd plant in Brilliant and knew my aunt who also had high regard for George. May God comfort you and I will keep you in prayers.
It was an honor and privilege to get to know George for the short time he was with us. Thank you for sharing him with us!
May God bless you and keep you, may God lift His Light to shine upon you.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of George H. Loker, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten..
