I am saddened by the passing of George. He was a high school friend, a co-worker at Ken's, a guy I ran around with, along John and Larry. A special "wait til ya see what I'm up to" smile would often adorn his face, by which I knew good fun was ahead. But paths part, not by choice, but by happenstance, yet the memories freshen themselves among our losses. I hope that George's family takes comfort that George was loved and liked by others, just as you, his family, loved him. May God comfort George Buckridge's family, and may He bless you abundantly.

George was truly one of a kind person. Met him back in the 90's and always enjoyed his family. He was my husband's cousin and had many wonderful times together. We will truly miss him and his wonderful admiration he had for all of his family.

To George's Family,
I was deeply saddened today when I read that George had passed away. I only have short memories of him thru my oldest brother Jack and their friend John Broward. Sorry that I didn't get to know his family but I am sure he was a great husband, father, grandpa and brother. I would occasionally run into Esther where she worked and I always asked how George was doing ( but that was 20 plus years ago). I hope that his love and memories live in your hearts forever. With my deepest sympathy David

I enjoyed bowling with George, he was a great partner on the team. I will miss talking to him and joking with him. He always had a smile and was rarely feeling low. My sympathy goes out to the family, I too will miss him.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Buckridge. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

Welcome home, George.

Paula, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your George. I am not good with words in times of loss. Remember God has a plan and one day you will meet again.

A Place in Our Hearts
The memories of precious
ones will never leave
our lives...
For deep within our heart
their spirit still survives....
Though time may bring
us new friends and help
our hearts to heal,
There will always be that
one place that only they
could fill.....

God Bless you and your family during this time.

Paula, Duane and Miles, and all the grandhildren - my heart goes out to you as you grieve George's passing. George was man of character and will be missed. His warm, sweet and sometimes ornery smile showed his personality. Cling to one another and the multitude of memories of George.
