George served his coun-

country, the American
flag and what it stood
for.
He worked as a sales-

years, at Guaranty RV for
most of his career. George
wanted to make a differ-
ence, and he was instru-
mental in getting better
fire service coverage in the
McKenzie Valley. He facili-
tated annexing McKenzie
Fire Department, then
Walterville Fire Department,
to cover above milepost 18.
He served on the board of
directors and was a volun-
teer firefighter.
George loved hunting
and especially fishing with
his buddies and his family.
He was known for his good
sense of humor and practi-
cal jokes. George was an
avid supporter of the Oregon
Ducks and will continue on
in spirit.
He had many friends

in touch. George enjoyed
stamp collecting starting
as a young boy. He was
a longtime NRA member
and was heavily involved
in keeping up-to-date in
politics.
George just recently
moved to Colbert,
Washington, from Sisters,
to be near his son and
grandchildren.

Melodie Morrone passed
away August 1, 2015 in her
home where she was sur-
rounded with love.
Nick knew her last
moments were upon them.
He took her in his arms,
wrapped her limp arms and
legs around him and breathed
softly into her mouth. He
relived the story of their first
date, telling her to remem-
ber all those years ago when
they were just teenagers.
As he kissed her and shared
his breath with her — she
opened her eyes. Nick said
there was a twinkle in them.
Suddenly she responded by
squeezing her arms around
him and they shared one last
kiss before she peacefully
passed on. Nick laid on the
bed with her until her transi-
tion was complete.
Also with them was their
angel, Glenda Smith, who
they describe as their every-
thing person, their manager,
partner, buddy, sister and
soul-mate. As well as Bailey,
their faithful goldendoodle
companion.
