"I feel its never too late to share my respect and fond memories of such a nice guy. Geo was always respectful to me. He also never let anyone disrespect me in his presence. I was unable to attend his service, but on that day I did think of him and the family, and prayed then and now that GOD will continue to embrace each of you during, and after such a sorrowful time. He will always be remembered as " that guy" in my heart. Humbly and respectfully submitted, Kathy Pollard Mother of Cameron & Brandon Henderson, and Marcus & Rolondo Pollard."
