Our friend and neighbor, George Kenyon, passed away Tuesday, April 15, 2008. He has left us with fond memories. We enjoyed the years together as good neighbors and parents raising our families. We looked forward to George, Santa Claus, dropping by our house on Christmas Eves to wish our family a "Merry Christmas." Our baby, Sheila, on the left now 43 says: "I always liked George. He was the classic Santa. Fun memories". Sandy, on the right, now 49 remembers going hunting for rabbits with George and her
Dad one time. When she realized that they were actually going to shoot the bunnies, she would make sure not to point out any rabbit that she saw. She never went hunting with them again. His daughter, Diana,
and ours, Ronna were teenage friends. They are now trying to contact each other. Diana lives in Kansas and Ronna lives in California. Our oldest grand-daughter, Jennifer, says: "Was that Santa Claus? I remember him". Our family will always remember George!

I was wondering if you made it to the funeral and if you were able to see Dianna. I did leave a message on the Arizona Republic site and am hoping to hear from her via e-mail.
We all love George. Good times. (except the dead bunnies). I'll see him on the other side, & look forward to a "big hug" from him.
George & I did enjoy hunting together. Sandy did point out the first rabbit, but after we shot the rabbit, she never pointed out any more that she saw.
