In my Senior year at Iowa, '69-'70, I had the privilege of living at the funeral home in return for running ambulance calls and helping with funeral services. George was like a father to me during this time, always friendly and kind, willing to help with anything. I always admired the sincere compassion that he extended to each family of the deceased in their time of grief. I cherish those memories of George and offer my condolences to Anita and Ted. Rest in Peace, my friend, you were a good man.

I work at the barber shop in Mission I asked him for one of his wooden plaques of Jesus. I will always see his smiling face when I think of George

I was stunned to hear of the passing of George. He was a dear friend and brother and was so actively involved in all areas of Masonic movement and his own community as well. Due to the illness of my wife Barbara and her passing, I was unaware of the tragic news of George's passing. I wish to extend my most sincere sympathy to the family of George and God Bless you all in the days and years ahead. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

So sorry to hear the news. Seems as though I just saw George at Rotary. We are out of state and will miss the services for a really nice man.

Gary and Nancy Pacha

Anita, Ted and families, you have our condolences.

Our sympathy to George's family with his passing. He served our funeral profession very well, with passion to the families he served and also with kindest to our state association. He was always nice to talk with at association conventions. Your family are in our thoughts and our prayers. Ric and Cynthia Porter

My sincerest condolences to the Gay Family. George and I were friends through various Masonic organizations that we were both a part of. He was just an all around great guy and a great Mason. He was one of the most enthusiastic and positive people that I have ever had the fortune to meet. Always upbeat and helping others. Iowa Freemasonry has lost a pillar with the passing of George Gay. He was a tireless worker for the teachings of our fraternity. Rest well my friend and brother. Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

To the Family of George Gay

All the members of the Magic Valley Men-of-Achord will miss George. He enjoyed singing and helping the chorus in any way he could.

Aside from the chorus, he enjoyed giving of himself and making things for others, especially his grandchildren.

Myself, living only a few houses from the woodshop in Aladdin Villas, I would often see George's van there early in the morning. He would be working on a wood project to give to a friend or family member.

I also remember him doing a big stained glass project for his church here in the valley. George will be remembered for years to come for the kindness he has shown to others.

In loving memory from the Men-of-Achord

Jerry Boman, President

We are so sorry to hear of George's passing. He was a wonderful man and he will be sorely missed in the community and his church and most of all his family.

George was a wonderful Christian man who was honored with the distinction of Elder Emeritus by First Christian Church, Coralville, Iowa. We all knew and loved him as a sunny, cheerful, and kind man. I will miss him dearly and think of him every time I enjoy a peppermint lifesaver!! Rest in Peace, George. You deserve it!

George was a wonderful pillar of the Iowa City community...at the time of my mother's death he was a great help to me in dealing with my father...the Iowa City community will be missing a great friend and business person.

may the family find peace and hapoyness

I am so sorry to hear of George's passing. I am thinking of you all.

George was a kind and dignified man. He was supportive and encouraging to me as a young man in the funeral business. As a fellow Past I.F.D.A. President, I was honored to have his friendship. He was a good man and one of many mentors in my career.

Anita, so sorry for your loss. He was such a vibrant man with so many talents. Will really miss him.

I met George briefly and what a sweet brave man. Blessings to all of George's family.

My sympathy to George`s Family. I knew him for many years while in the funeral business

I would like to give my heart felt sympathy to the Gay family from my family. George was a good man a lived a joyful life. He was fun to be around with at lodge and very knowledgeable, if you were having trouble with something in lodge he was right there to help you out. He will be dearly missed at Clarksville Lodge #668. God Bless.

A piece of our heart is missing due to this message of George's death. He was a great friend. Gary and I so enjoyed the many times we played bridge at his home and all the many wonderful things he did for our church. So many people were blessed by being George's friend. I'm know he will be deeply missed by everyone.

My deepest sympathy to the Gay family. He shall be missed by many. George touched the lives of many including mine.
