Lisa, we are praying for you. God bless George in heaven. We were blessed to have met him.
Lisa, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .
Dear Lisa,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you. We are here for you! We love you!!
Dad, you always seized the day and lived the most life of anyone I have ever known. Most people would have to live for 200+ years to live the life you were able to accomplish an enjoy in only 54. You were the glue that brought together so many people, friends, and family. You always gave everyone a chance. I have to be the man you raised me to be now and I will strive for a life where I can touch as many hearts as you have. I love you and you will forever be missed and close to my heart.
Brother, I can’t tell you how much this hurts.
I just can’t come to terms with it.
Lisa, Brad,Steve and Austin, we love you very much.
So sorry for your loss. I know you guys were close. Peace buddy.
Lisa and boys, please accept our deepest condolences, George was truly one of a kind and will be missed by many for a long time.
good picture of George. We had the best of times being outside – communing with nature. I will look for his spirit there…
Dad,
You were the best father anyone could have asked for. You were taken too soon from us. I will mourn the moments and milestones we won’t get to build together; however, I am forever grateful for all the loving memories we did get to share over the last 34 years. You showered my heart with so many good ones. You will continue to inspire me everyday to be the best version of myself I can be. You’re lessons, your humor, and your love for your family and friends will never be forgotten. I love you with all my heart.
Such a nice person and a great uncle to Hazel and Henry (my grandchildren) I like to think he is in a better place no more pain and fishing and hunting and barbecuing. My heart goes out to his whole family. Peace and love to you all
My prayers for Tommy and the Blumenkemper family. So many wonderful memories growing up together. To this day, I still tell stories of our South County adventures every now and again. Our friendship will always be appreciated. God bless my friend.
How I’m feeling is indescribable. I’m frustrated and angry with you, but I’m also devastated and heartbroken without you. There wasn’t a single doubt in my mind that you were going to be there for my greatest achievements; just like you had promised me. Our shared humility and willingness to attempt learning eachothers perspectives is what made our bond so special. I can’t accept that you’re truly gone because you’ve touched my life, and so many other lives, in ways that no matter where you go, you’ll always be a part of us. Thank you. Thank you for being my dad, and raising me as your own. I love you. I miss you. I want to go on another ride with you in the Polaris. I want to see you get another strike at the bowling alley. I want that time I was promised. I love you, dad.
Such great words, Austin!
Tom,
You were once “little cousin” Tommy who just got in trouble for…what?! But as a man, I think if you as able to go for it when I sometimes couldn’t, generous, terrific storyteller, best brisket barbecuer ever, gracious party host, keeper of your brother John’s memory, supportive son and unbridled lover of life and the people you met as you lived it. You found a wonderful life-partner who is amazing in her own right and just as strong as you (she just has a quieter way of going about it). A lesser woman could have been overshadowed by your largess. You found a party who stands toe to toe with you. I’m envious in a good way. And you patented two of the most beautiful human beings I have ever met. Yes, they are handsome, but I mean their hearts. You did it, Tom! You pulled it all off and only needed 54 years to do it! Again…envious in a good way! Love you! Will miss you…especially your laugh! And will most likely never eat brisket again because yours was the only one I liked. Help us and bring our lives laughter from heaven. And get the barbecue ready for when we meet again.
Goerge, this honestly does not seem possible, I wanted nothing more than for you to enjoy all the hard work you had done. I remember walking through the feild and you saying ..do you think we can make this into a pig 🐖 pen. It all started from there , late nights. Cold morning and trying to catch fleeing cows sometimes lol. Im going to miss the friendship we had ,but ill always remember the memories we made. To the entire family im extremely sorry for you great loss.
So very sorry.Saw him quite a few years back and enjoyed talking to him.Prayers to all of the family..
George or as I liked to call you Georgie! I’m going to miss you walking through my front door like it was nothing lol. The big ole goofy smile you would always have could light up a room. Thank you for being one of Grandpa’s very best friends! You did a lot for him especially helping him when I couldn’t be around I will always be grateful for that! You had a heart of gold. I’ll never forget our last conversation when I seen you. I promise to take care of Lisa! This isn’t good-bye it’s I’ll see you later, bud!
Lisa and family – Mark and I were heartbroken to hear of George’s passing. He left an indelible print on our hearts. It was impossible not to love him. We created a lot of good memories. Please know you’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Heartbreaking and so sad !
Gone too soon 💔
Our thoughts are with his family !
Rest in peace Tom !
George, you will forever be missed and never forgotten. For the past 12 years, you have been such an important part of my life and our family. You were the kind of person who would give the shirt off your back to anyone in need. When Randy and I needed help, you were there for us always. You helped us more than you will ever know.
You became more than a friend—you were like a brother to me. I will always cherish your kindness, your love, and those late-night calls to your “little buddy.”
You were an amazing human being, taken from us far too soon. I love you, George. Thank you for everything. You will forever be loved, remembered, and missed.
To Lisa and the entire Blumenkemper Family,
Our Most Sincere Condolences!
May you know that you all are in our thoughts and Prayers!

My sincere condolences. I enjoyed working with George and always looked forward to our conversations. George was a mentor, teacher and entertainer. He lifted and encouraged the people around him to excel and always be the best version of themselves, pushing the envelope for growth on both a personal and business level, always sharing ideas and suggestions with his fellow team members. His positive influence, leadership and friendship will be missed. Continued thoughts and prayers to George’s family, friends and co-workers during this time of great loss.
Sorry for your loss, Steve. I’m here if you ever need anything!
Sincere condolences from our family to yours. George will be missed. Prayers.
Dear Lisa, I am so sorry. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time.
Dear Mary and Blumenkemper Family,
It was so sad to hear about Tommy’s passing. I have some wonderful childhood memories of playing in your backyard after school days at SMMA.
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
