In Loving Memory of George Folmar: A Great Friend, Supporter, and Member of the Bugnutty Community
It is with profound sadness and disbelief that we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our dear friend, George Folmar. George was not only an incredible individual but a pivotal force in the growth and success of our community. His contributions, both behind the scenes and in the foreground, were immeasurable, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.
From the very beginning, George was there—helping to build, fix, and brainstorm the ideas and plans that have shaped our journey. He was the person we could always count on, whether it was for his expertise, his support, or just a helping hand when it was needed the most. George never hesitated to step in and lend his time, energy, and resources. As many of you know, if George saw a need, he didn’t think twice before taking action. He would have given you the shirt off his back, not because it was asked, but because that was simply the kind of person he was.
His generosity, selflessness, and dedication went beyond the ordinary, and his impact will be felt by all who had the privilege of knowing him. He made everyone feel welcome, important, and valued, no matter the task at hand. He didn’t just participate; he invested in people, in projects, and in making the world around him better. His contributions weren’t just limited to what he did—it was who he was. He was a cornerstone in our community, and we are all better for having known him.
A True Friend to Many
George wasn’t just an integral part of our team; he was a true friend to all who knew him. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life and made everyone feel like part of something greater. His sense of humor, his warmth, and his genuine care for others created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie. He was the kind of person who showed up when it mattered most, offering both practical help and a comforting presence. Whether you needed guidance, a hand with a project, or just a friendly ear, George was always there for you.
We’ve all experienced those moments when George would offer advice or insight that could only come from years of experience and a deep understanding of the work. But more often than not, he was there simply to offer support, encouragement, and an unwavering belief in your potential. George believed in people, and that belief made him a mentor to many, a confidant to countless others, and a source of strength for all who were lucky enough to call him a friend.
A Great Loss to His Family and Our Community
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Debbie, George’s beloved wife, who has been his partner through every challenge and triumph. Together, they created a life full of love, joy, and purpose. This loss is felt deeply by those closest to George, and we stand with Debbie through this difficult time. We also extend our heartfelt condolences to the Bugnutty Community, which has lost a true champion, mentor, and friend. George’s influence on this community cannot be overstated. His spirit, work ethic, and love for what he did were contagious, and his legacy will forever be part of the foundation of everything we’ve built together.
As we reflect on George’s life, we are reminded of the countless times he made our lives easier, better, and brighter with his quiet, steadfast support. His contributions were not just professional—they were personal. George wasn’t just a colleague, he was family. His loss leaves a gap in our hearts that will take time to heal, but his memory will live on in all the good work we continue to do, inspired by his example.
A Legacy of Generosity, Dedication, and Friendship
George’s legacy will be carried forward by all of us who were touched by his kindness, dedication, and generosity. He leaves behind a lasting mark on the people he worked with, the projects he contributed to, and the friendships he built. We will honor him by continuing the work he helped lay the foundation for, with the same passion, commitment, and selflessness that he showed in everything he did.
George, thank you for everything. Thank you for your wisdom, your laughter, and your unwavering support. Thank you for always being there, no matter what. You’ve made a lasting impact on all of us, and we will carry your memory forward as we continue to grow and work together in the spirit you helped cultivate.
You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in the work we continue to do and in the hearts of everyone you touched. Our community will forever be better for having had you as part of it. We’re not saying goodbye, George—we’re saying, we’ll carry on in your honor.
