Ginny, Rebecca, Kara and Tyler, I'm so sorry for your loss.
George was a great guy who would do anything for anyone. He was so happy when he could bring the team pizzas from Lou Malnati's in IL. He would put the seat warmer on and deliver them hot to the office in Milwaukee. He had so much passion for his Job, his family, sports and his music. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to work with him for the last 13 years and I will dearly miss him. May you find comfort in all your memories of him.

George was a great friend and coworker. To Ginny and the kids, he loved you all so very much and was so proud of any accomplishments you all have made. He loved his grandkids so much. He would always express how grateful and happy he was to see them the following day after a visit. I will miss our conversations about baseball, football and life in general. I am going to miss you George.

Dear Ginny, Cara & Tyler - please accept my sincerest condolences for you and your family . I’m so deeply saddened to hear of George’s passing.

George was my friend for over 40 years. He was a family man, very religious, and had a big heart. His family and friends , especially his grandkids, were the most important things to him. He was a sports nut and loved his Chicago Cubs. On a professional level, he was one of the best produce people I had the pleasure to work with. He had a passion for the produce business that was infectious. George we will miss you. Ginny, my condolences to you and your entire family, Ross and Pam.

My deepest condolences to the Hurst Family. Though, I only knew George for a short time. The first day I met George he welcomed me as part of the Roundy’s family. We only spent 3 weeks together, however I heard about his wonderful family and how much he loved and cared about them. I’m forever grateful for the learnings about the Produce business and the importance of treating others as you would want a family member treated. George was a very special person who will be missed dearly by many of us. Thoughts and prayers to the Hurst Family. Dan Mora

I will miss my trips to Chicago to visit with George - and to see all of his photos of his family who he truly loved with every ounce of his being. George will truly be missed. I wish I could be there to pay my respects, but know that y'all are in my heart and mind in these days of grief.
