Colleen and I were blessed to know Pastor George (and Ruth) when we attended Coon Rapids Evangelical Free Church from 1980-1987. They were a wonderful couple and made a great team personally and also ministering to the church. They were loving, caring, kind & encouraging and loved by all. He baptized Colleen. I was honored to make several visitation calls with him in his Chevette. We had some wonderful conversations while riding together. We attended many meetings together while our church was growing.He had a heart for the Lord and for people. He was a pastor, mentor, encourager and friend. Ruth and Colleen
were on the prayer team together. If there was a person and a couple who exemplified Christ's love, it was George and Ruth. They visited our home many times and we enjoyed each visit. George was a gifted speaker, teacher and care pastor, but also very humble. He not only spoke, but led by his example. We have
been blessed to know them and are better people for it.
