George-you will always be remembered for your great sense of humor & all the good times we had together.Our prayers go out to the Sluman Family.
I was so sorry to hear about your father. May your memories of him continue to warm your hearts and lift you up with thoughts of him. He and Doreen were always so special to our family. My Dad would have many a story of his outings with George and I know they are together again. With warm thoughts, Karen and Brian
I was so sorry to learn of George’s passing. He was one of the nicest people I ever had the privilege to know. I knew him from Barcrest Drive where Jeffrey used to hit golf balls in the backyard – right over the farmer’s orchard in back of us. As the paper said, he was a devoted husband & father..I always remember him saying ‘your’re absolutely right Doreen’ the reason they never had a fight….Love to all, Corinne
Jeff, My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I did not know your dad but he must have been something special for you to have learned from him and become the nice and funny person you have always been. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Bonnie

To the Sluman family:
I’m not sure if you’re dad wouldv’e remembered me in passing here in Naples or back in the days in Rochester. I remember him well as he was, and always will be my late stepfather, James Walsh’s best friend. I remember many wonderful stories about George as Jim would remind me of their special times shared. Lucky #7 I believe was what Jim called him. My condolences extend to all of your family and may time heal your hearts & fill them with wonderful memories. God Bless

so sad to hear about your Dad. I just found out or I would have paid my respects. So many years ago, but your Dad (and Mom) always were kind to me and your Dad made me laugh. My heart is heavy for all of you. Pray that the memories you have hold you through

Wayne, Brad, Jeff, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. George was a special man and boy did we all have some fun with him and Doe. They opened their hearts and home to me in a time of need. Never to be forgotten. I am sorry that is the way we had to all be together last night but I loved seeing all of you and your beautiful family’s. It makes me realize how much I miss all of you and all the great times. Doe is putting on her lipstick and fixing her hair waiting to great him. Heaven will be smiling & rockin tonight.
Wayne,Brad,and Jeff. I will always remember the times spent together
with you, and your father. May God
be with you during this time of mourning
his death. I will keep your family in my
prayers.
