George Painter is my brother and will always be. I had so many good times with him and remember him as someone great. We did not always treat each other the best but the last two years have brought us closer then we have been since childhood. Of course I did not realize what I had in a brother until He passed and now I miss him so much. I love You George Painter and miss you. Signed Little-Bro - Mark

I didn't know George very well but was friends of his father Ed, and his brothers Eddie and Mark. I grew up a block away from them and have lots of memories of most of the family - rest in peace George.

I grew up with the Painters in Pikes Peak Park when they lived on Rushmoor Dr. Cheryl and I were best friends and I always had a crush on George. I have so many great memories from those days going to school at Harrison and just hanging out with the Painters. I'm so sorry about your loss, George was so sweet and funny. Cheryl, I still work at King Soopers. Contact me please. Sincerely, Nora(Zolli)Graybill
