Fond Reflections of George Kiemele jr

My Dad has always been known for his strong work ethics. He has worked long and hard to achieve high standards. Steadfast determination and know-how endeared Dad to anyone depending on him to get the job done. No job was too big or small. Any undertaking of Dad’s was done to the best of his ability. The old phrase, “an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay,” described Dad very well in his working years.

Dad believed in living a clean, simple life embracing the fundamental values of honesty, integrity, hard work and fair play. He lived a modest life and found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. He provided well for his family and kept his family in touch with one another over the years. He enjoyed his grandchildren and the outdoors in his retirement years.

Dad had a kindness in him that became more apparent when ‘needy’ people came to him for help. He always helped others when situations became intolerable. Dad later extended his caring gestures to include feeding the small woodland animals that lived close by.

Although life is never perfect or easy for anyone but Dad always turned adversity into victory everytime.

“Thanks Dad for the lessons in strength and courage that you so aptly taught us.”
