George Lawrence Poate

I was so saddened to hear of George's passing. I received an email from East class of '70 saying that George had been added to the "in remembrance" list. It was shocking. We recently returned from a Spain vacation and we do not take the Tribune, so I had not heard anything. I really would have enjoyed knowing about the services. He was a first cousin of my first wife, classmate all the way through school. He was always there at the Gunderson reunions, I enjoyed attending a few of his and his families ceremonies at their temple - thank you for the invites - I learned a lot. I guess we are getting older. Again I am so saddened at your loss in fact everyone's loss. I even remember tending the kids. Best wishes for the future, rck

George was a fine example of craftsmanship and dedication. He taught me many things during the years I had the good fortune to work with him. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to have had George as a mentor and friend. A fine man.

Dearest Shirley, My prayers and thoughts go out to you and your family! Such a huge loss for everyone, knowing that you will be surrounded by many who love you and support hopefully will help ease your pain. May you always find peace in knowing that George will be with you always and forever. Lovingly, Kari
