I'm sorry for your loss as well. I didn't know LG well, but we're all related here on GS. That you would take the time to post here with an update speaks volumes of your character and heart. Know that your dad was a good man, loved and respected here. [
My name is Wayne. I knew your father George in Irving TX from 1984 - 86. You were a precious little thing then, the gleam in his eye. I am so sorry to hear he has passed on. It is however, comforting that he went peacefully. George was a wise, honest, hard-working man. He will be missed by many. My heart goes out to you over your loss. I lost my father a few years ago. It doesn't matter how old one is when it happens, it is not an event one can totally prepare for. You can have comfort in knowing your father was loved by many people who knew him personally, and via this board. I wish you only the best. I know you will do well. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
I only knew your dad for a very few posts (until I just read this thread) and I too send my condolences to you. It's a joy and privilege to have had a good dad...so many daughters have not. How wonderful to know that you filled his heart with joy overflowing!!! What a blessing to carry that ... and him ... with you forever.
I’m very sorry that your father is gone. LG was a clear and solid thinker. Although he was an atheist and I a Christian theist, we had developed a level of mutual respect. He conducted himself honorably. He even posted in my defense a few times.
I loved agreeing with your dad. I loved disagreeing with him. He was honest, forthright, upfront... everything a friend should be. Had I known him in person, I'm confident we would have been very good friends.
We at the Cafe just lost something wonderful. How much greater your loss must be.
George was the voice of reason and compassion in my eyes. He helped me tremendously through the years and there aren't enough words to describe the peace he helped me come to find in my own heart and life.
He was a true gem of a man and friend here at the cafe - Very well respected and loved by so many. I'm really going to miss him.
Some people I’ve talked to have questions that they may or may not feel free to ask. It may seem odd, but what made me finally decide to post about my death was someone asking me “Are you afraid?” I’m not. I have some concerns about some of the things I’ll face leading to death, but at least for now, I’m not afraid of death itself.
And his tender words, posting on Wyoman's memorial thread -- a month ago.
I enjoyed Al's posts on a variety of topics, and very much liked what I could perceive of him as a person, through his writing. My heart goes out to you, Robes for your loss of a beloved friend. Also to Al's family, especially Tannis and her daughters, who have endured so much long-term and sudden tragedy recently.
She asked this morning to be allowed to die in peace. She did just that, about eight hours later. I was with her the whole day.
She was ready to go, I honored her wishes and comforted her as best I could. The hospital people were kind and supportive, especially the nurse who cared for her today, who was as near to an angel as I can imagine anyone being,
Please don't worry about me. I'm fine.
i know he was so thankful she didn't see her darling son pass away

lisa, you are your dad's angel (i know because he told me)
I never saw this until today, Lisa. I am so sorry that this happened, for, George was a very fine man. I am glad that you all enjoyed the salmon. Thank you for toasting me and my family. How kind of George. And I toast you and yours and you all are in my prayers...
God bless you, and, we'll see him again down Life's eternal highway....
Lisa, I didn't know your dad well enough to be his friend but I liked and admired him. He's been in my thoughts more often these past few days but I wasn't aware until just now that he had already passed. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
By the time he really is "long gone," he will still be fondly thought of by anyone who knew him here.

Lisa, I'm heartbroken to lose "LG" and I hurt for you as well.
As time goes on I hope you'll take solace in the beauty of your relationship with him as well as the time you had to hold each other until the end...

Lisa,
We are all better off for knowing the words of your Father. His wisdom and insights will be missed. But, more importantly, he will be missed.
You and your family are in my prayers.
