He was preceded in death by his wife, Eleanor Peiffer Fletcher; daughter, Judith Ann Hardage; and a sister, Barbara Cueman. Survivors include daughter, Lynn Fletcher Coats of Little Rock; grandchildren, Stacy Coats McClain (Chuck) of Batesville; Jamie Sue Coats Morrison (Jay) of Nashville, TN; Beverly Hardage Parker (Brandon) of Lonoke and Jeffrey Hardage (Lisa) of Cabot.

Lynn,

Your father was one of my most favorite people in the whole world. I looked forward every Sunday to seeing George in church and getting my hug from him. My condolences go out to you and your family. I will miss George terribly, and I will look forward to seeing his smiling face again one day when God calls me home.

Lynn,
I've been thinking of you and both Monica and I send you comfort as you begin to heal from this tremendous loss.
I remember your Dad very plainly, his expressions and his voice.
Please contact me as I no longer have your phone #, nor e-mail.
You were fortunate to have had your Dad for so long. I know that you took so very good care of him.
