Dear Shaddy Family,
Everything changes in life when you lose someone so close to you. As I remember growing up in our neighborhood many years ago your Dad would always and I mean always give me the wave or the head nod, yelling across the street just to say hi and ask how I was doing! Great memories growing up on Stanford Ave. Cherish the memories of your father with your family, this seems to make the pain and hurt a little more tolerable. Our neighborhood is dwindling but we will always have the memories!

To my precious family,Auntie Rose, my dear cousins Debbi, Dave and Craig and your families. It seems we grew up as one big family, more so like siblings, not cousins. You all mean the world to me and you have always loved my children, as they love you.

I know you have had many visitors and kind gifts of food and flowers. They are there for you, just like each of you have been important and loved by many. Aunty, george you are wonderful parents always here for all of us!I love you all. George, I will look to you for wisdom in my dreams,you can help me when I visit Cripple Creek!!!! I will always love you. I am so proud to have been a part of your journey, rest in peace, we will take care of things down here! Love always, Maribeth (and Joe & girls)

May the peace that comes from Him comfort you all in the coming weeks and months.
I had the priveladge to develop a freindship with George through both Craig and David. I have fond memories of spending time with George and family at CU football games as well as his beautiful home in Pueblo.
George was the very definition of a family man, leader, mentor and someone who led through action.
God Bless the entire Shaddy family.
Blessings,

Dave and the Shaddy family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Knowing you and your father for many years I know how important family was to your dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Tough as it is, soon the hurts will be replaced with wonderful memories and smiles. So sorry we can’t attend the service. Peace and love to all.
Rose and family,
My heart is broken today as I write about my buddy, Mr. Shaddy. Every summer I enjoyed walking the South track with him. He was so proud of his family, and shared all of your accomplishments and all of his hopes, dreams, and prayers for all of you. Mr. Shaddy was the “Mayor” of the South High School track morning walkers. He knew everyone, and if he didn’t know you, he would by the second lap! I will miss him very much. My heart goes out to Rose, Debbie, and all of the family. May God bless you. Love, Tracy
Rose and family. Peace and love be with you.
