Sondra, Julie, Howard & Marea, I was deeply saddened to hear of George’s passing. I always enjoyed waiting on him (in his usual seat in the first booth at Stateline Restaurant) with his drink and gum….. He always would bring a smile to my face when he would joke about “liking the food here at Eat-n-Park”. I will remember him always. May you find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace. I wish I could be home to hug you and give my condolences in person. Please know that my prayers and thoughts are with you all during this most difficult time. With love, Carol Gump

Julie, I am so sorry for your loss. This has been such a tuff year for you and your family. You were always close to your dad, you shared a very special bond. George made us laugh all the time, he taught me to never sit on cold cement! Your dad loved you so much he’d go to the end of the earth and back for you. He was always proud you are his daughter. I truly understand your pain, and I wish that you didn’t have to hurt. Your dad and brother are together now in heaven watching over you and your family. I hope you find peace knowing hes your angel. Sorry for your loss, Misty
George Ronshausen was my cousin who helped raise me when I visited for several days at a time during my very early years in life. You couldn’t help but develop a sense of humor around him, his family, and my father, Dwain Hultberg Sr.. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. He stood so straight and tall when he left my father’s hospital room. I thanked him for coming to see us all. I cried as I watched him walk down the hallway. Uncle Glen, aunt Helen, and all their children, George, Glenda, Howard, Miriam, and Frankie spent many summer days together with me. How I wish I could be a kid again for just a day.
