Pam and family, Please accept our deepest sympathies. The Willoughby’s have nothing but fond memories, respect and admiration for George. He never forgot where he came from, and always found time to visit with my father, Dean and his brother, John, life long friends from the Allegheny hilltops of Gifford, PA. We last dined with you at your mountain retreat in Bradford with Fred Willoughby cooking his delicious Brunswick stew over the fire pit. John & Tini, Dean & Bobbie, and all their children and grandchildren were invited. It was a wonderful time:) You two were so gracious and welcoming. How we loved sitting around the fire listening to George’s shenanigan laden stories about growing up in the Oilfields of Gifford with the Willoughby’s and the rest of the hilltop gang. My father, Dean, always talked highly of George, and marveled at his work ethic, his stamina, his dedication to his family, and his loving devoted wife, Pam. Behind every great man is a great woman, and George and Pam were both. My father always spoke that way about you two. When my father died, George wrote the most beautiful letter to my late mother, Bobbie, expressing his love and admiration for him. It brought my mother and our family great comfort. That was George Korb. He was quite a man, indeed. Again, please accept our heartfelt sympathies. We are so sorry this is coming so late. We just did not know. Love, The Willoughby Family God bless❤️
