My most vivid memory of George is from the late 1970's when Brenda and I were poverty-stricken students at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. We came home to Linden for Christmas, and George met me somewhere and asked how we were doing. He asked specific questions about our financial situation. After we were back in Saskatoon, we got a check from him in the mail for $100 (which was quite a lot of money in those days!). That was a huge help to us, and a good example to us of how to show God's love to those in need. We are very grateful to have known him.

Our condolences to Ruth & Family on the passing of George. We have very good memories of George. We appreciated George as Adult Sunday School teacher at SMBC and also in our small Care Group. George was loving and caring and a faithful child of God. We grieve, but rejoice that his suffering is over and now enjoying being in the presence of His Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
A scripture of encouragement is: 1 Thess. 4: 13-18

Dear family of Mr. Wiens,
This is what we called our beloved music teacher back at Dr. Elliott. I am Terry Baerg, a student at the Linden school some 40 years ago. I wanted you to know that we have heard of your loved ones illness through Lucille and have kept you in our thoughts the last while. We send our sympathy to all of you. I remember him with much fondness and through the years I have thought of his excellent music advice and his nice way of leading the lovely Linden High School Choir. I think he taught us in Junior high as well, come to think of it. I just really enjoyed him as a teacher, and he certainly is not forgotten. With Sympathy, Randy and Terry Ensz, Paxton Nebraska.
