I had the privilege of having George Bumpas as my Dept manager for 6 years. I will never forget the advice he gave me when I was going thru a tough time in my life. He was very easy to talk to and was genuinely down to earth.

Mr. Bumpus was one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of knowing. He always had a smile on his face, and always had as much time for each person as that person needed. When he retired it was a loss for Remington, and now it is a loss for his family. Thoughts and Prayers for the love ones he left behind.

I to was honored to have George as my supervisor at Remington. I deeply respected George he was fair, honest, and consistent when dealing with people. George passed along those qualities so I like to think that a part of George still lives on at Remington. God be with your family in their hour of grief.
