Remembering George Oplinger: A Decade of Enduring Love

It has been a decade since we said our final goodbyes, but for the family of George Oplinger, his presence remains as vibrant and real as ever. October 21, 2012, marked a day of profound loss, yet it also became the genesis of an enduring remembrance, a testament to a love that time cannot diminish.

George was, and always will be, the cherished patriarch, a devoted husband to Dolores, and a guiding light for his children, Debbie, Diane, David, and Donna.

His very essence was kindness, his spirit boundless, and his love unconditional. He possessed a truly infectious laugh, a sound that could brighten the darkest of days and fill any room with joy. That laugh, a signature of his vibrant personality, is one of the many things his family misses most profoundly.

More than just a memory, George's influence continues to shape their lives.

His wisdom, his gentle guidance, and the unwavering support he offered are threads woven deeply into the fabric of who they are today. Every shared story, every silent thought, every moment of quiet reflection brings him closer, reminding them of the extraordinary man he was.

As ten years have passed, the ache of his absence is still felt, a tender void that speaks volumes of the love he inspired.

Yet, alongside the sorrow, there is an immense gratitude for the years they had, for the lessons he taught, and for the beautiful legacy he left behind. George Oplinger may have left this world, but he never truly left their hearts. He is, and always will be, forever loved, forever missed, and forever in their hearts.
