Their love blessed them with two daughters, Jayne and Shelley. They celebrated 60 years of marriage before Sandra passed away.

Verona, WI Thursday, January 9, 2025 I'm so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was such a gentle, friendly person, who clearly loved his family so much. You are all in my prayers during this difficult time.La Donna (Doni) Brainard
Omaha, NE Wednesday, January 8, 2025 My sincere sympathy to all of George's family! My memories of George go back to HS days in Arlington. He was older than I was, but he ran around with Jerry Bradford; (former brother-in-law); and sometimes Jim Brainard (former husband) and sometimes Walt Sass (friend). He also graduated with my sister. I think he was a Sr. when I was a freshman. When you come from a small town like Arlington; you get to know 'everyone' and those memories never fade. I did get to see George and Sandy through the years, but not often. There was a lot of teasing, laughter and fun times back then; so know he was well liked; and as I drove from Fremont (when I lived there) to Arlington (to see my parents), I saw and knew his 'family home' along the highway. May all your memories be happy ones!!
