The other night I realized that several people my father knew found out about his death from my blog. After learning that, I made the decision to put a copy of his obituary, and funeral arrangements/information here as well. I felt it would be a good way for people who are interested to keep up with the details.

We will have a viewing Wednesday night from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors – 214 Davis Road, Augusta GA 30907 (706) 364-8484.

The memorial service will be on Thursday at 4:00 pm in the chapel at the funeral home. Reverend Larry Harmon will be officiating. I will take a few minutes to share some of my favorite memories of dad.

The funeral home has a web page with a guest book for dad. If you click on this link Obituaries it will take you to the obituary page. Dad is listed there – George Shell. Clicking on his name will take you to his obituary, and at the bottom of the page you will see a link named Sign Registry. You are invited to click on it and leave a message for mom, me, and/or my brother.You can share a favorite memory about dad, or offer your condolences . You are also more than welcome to share your thoughts, prayers, and condolences in the comment section below.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to West Acres Baptist Church Property Fund, 555 Gibbs Road, Evens, GA 30809, or Heart Cry Missionary Society, PO Box 2309, Christiansburg, VA 25068
