    George and my husband, Sam George O'Bill(ovich) were best friends from childhood and 'home' was Butte, Montana. While George 'got outta Dodge' via a bus line, Sam decided after a brief stint in the mines to join up with Uncle Sam (Army 42 yrs), but never lost touch with George. I first met George and Marlys when Sam and I married in 1980...Sam was a widower and, of course, it was my great fortune, first, to have God reserve this good man for me and, secondly, to have the pleasure of meeting the Seckovic family. While they were living in Seattle, Sam and I often visited and when they came 'south' they would be our guests. After Marlys' passing and my husband's, even though they had moved to No. Calif., the phone and mail was a friendship-keeper....so admired George's gutsy handling of the diabetes and dialysis regime and his always upbeat and good-natured personality...he was handsome, always pleasant and the Gentlemen's gentleman as well as being a gentle man. Keeping you in my prayers, dear Friend, asking God to be gentle with you in His mercy (which, of course He will). Will miss your calls and not being able to pick up the phone to call you, hear your laughing voice and receive a Christmas card stating, "Have a good one!". Rest in God's peace, George. Your friend, Carol O'Bill P.S. Give Sam-O a hug for me.

    In the 65 years that he was my Dad, I never got mad at him. He was firm but fair and helped me grow into manhood by his example. He will be missed.
