Inspirational Writings
George Kilbride at age 98, was enjoying a blessed life to the fullest surrounded by his family and many friends through golf, Knights of Columbus and dancing, including team mates on bowling and bocce leagues. Everyone was betting he’d be the one to reach 100!
Then on November 1, 2017 he was struck down suddenly with 50-90% blockages in all arteries. The doctors weren’t able to do anything, and sent him home. This began a slow turn of medical events and body changes.
He was thrilled to have reached his 99th birthday with both a family reunion, and the Oakmonte residents gathering around his dinner table to celebrate their oldest resident and beloved George. Within the next 4 weeks his body took control, much to his frustration, especially since he had been going at top speed before all this happened.
George went peacefully into the night (March 3 at 2AM) to meet his beautiful wife, and on to enjoy a new dimension of love. He was an inspiration to many due to his generosity of spirit, athletic abilities, many talents, great sense of humor, and had a knack to make each person feel special. So many have mentioned, that they felt blessed to have had him in their life.
