George was always such a welcoming presence at Meijer! Always smiling. Always friendly. Always helpful. Even though he knew I was a Shipt shopper he always offered to help when I was dragging out multiple carts. All of the McCordsville Shipt shoppers will remember him warmly. Condolences to his friends, family and co-workers.

I often got to speak with George during my many trips into the Meijer everyday as a Shipt shopper. He always had a joke or a story or passed on his wisdom, always with a smile. It was always a good day when George was there. He will be missed. My deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

As a shipt shopper I got to see George quite frequently. He always had a smile for me. My heart hurt when I came through those doors today without his warm welcome. He will be dearly missed.

Grandpa, I am so thankful for all the time I have been blessed to have with you. I have always loved your stories and jokes. You have always known how to put a smile on someone’s face. The way you would give hugs always warmed my heart and I wish I could have just one more! Camilo and Liliana were so blessed to have their GG Porter in their lives and I am forever thankful they have so many wonderful memories with you. You are now our angel and I am so happy you are at peace. Please always watch over us and I know you will now never miss a game or event in my children’s lives! Love always,
Stefanie, Juan, Camilo and Liliana
