Praise God for the lives George touched while he was here. His grandson Dan Fry is a great friend and a great Christian man who has told me of the meaningful and impact-full life George lived for his savior Jesus Christ. The way Dan lives his life is a testament to the example George gave Larry that Larry instilled in Dan to be a man of integrity, honesty, and faithfulness in being a spiritual leader of their homes. I pray for peace and healing for all that are left behind as George forges ahead to meet his heavenly father.
Though I did not know Mr. Fry, I know his grandson Dan who is fine christian man and I know his grandfather is with the lord. Your family is in our prays.
Wish I could have come down to say Goodbye to my good friend. He was truly one of the Good Guys. The older we get, the more we treasure people like him. I passed the word to all I could. He had a lot of friends in St. Charles. I've told several about him saying to me "We should open our own Real Estate Co. and call it Fish-Fry" My condolences to all–Margaret Fish
