Dear Krietemeyer Family, I worked for George from 1980-1983. I had not been out of high school long before I started working there & George taught me so much about the working world. He gave me so many opportunities to grow & develop my skills. He was always so encouraging. I left Crescent to work at Mead Johnson for 36 years & every boss I had I compared them to George. None could compare! I have always had so much respect for him! My deepest sympathy to his family.

Dear Liz and family--
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this very sad time. I have such fond memories of Uncle George--his sense of humor, his strategies for playing Yahtzee, and that special trip down to Arkansas. I like to think that he and my mother are together as clabber partners in the hereafter. He will be missed. Cindy
