G. T. was one of the nicest men I have ever known. He always had something nice to say and was always happy. I never saw him when he was down. He had problems just like everyone else but he always tried to look on the bright side of things. I have missed his visits the last few months and he will be missed by many because of his cheerful attitude and winning smile.

G T was a very good friend of mine. He was always full of advice, whether I thought I needed it or not. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. God bless his wife and family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We were so sadden by the news of G.T's passing. He has been a friend as long as we can remember. He has told us many jokes and tried to predict the sex of all three of my granddaughters…Of course he was ALWAYS wrong. lol..we will truly miss running into him in town and of course at WAL-Marts. Gene bought his first car from G.T….you all will always be in our prayers. He was a great and treasured friend..
I am sorry for the loss of GT. He was always there – my parents talked of him often. I remember meeting him, and you will be in my thoughts.
GOD BLESS YOU. I WILL PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME.
G.T. made an unforgetable impact on everyone that met him. It has been over 40 years since I saw him but his smiling face and infectious personality will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. God bless!
