Brenda Singleton wrote a sympathy message

“We will miss our long-time friend. God was gracious to allow him to live almost 90 years, marry the love of his life, and have a really big family. All men do not have such a wonderful life. George and Betty were faithful to the Lord and enjoyed traveling all over the world. They treated many of their friends like family. Prayers for his family....especially Betty. 🎶🎶”
