Remembering George
by
Ernie
Haase
|
 |
|
In
remembering
the
George
that
I
traveled
with
and
lived
with
these
two
words
kept
coming
to
my
mind,
"He
Loved."
More
than
anything
else
he
gave
and
gave
and
never
stopped
giving
till
the
day
he
died.
One
of
his
last
wishes
were
for
his
granddaughter
Morgan
to
get
a
new
car
when
she
turned
16.
He
had
made
her
a
promise
and
wanted
to
see
that
we
fulfilled
it
on
his
behalf.
Putting
others
feelings
and
wishes
first
was
what
made
George
so
special.
It
never
mattered
where
the
family
would
eat
or
where
we
would
vacation
as
long
as
we
were
all
together
having
fun
loving
each
other.
George
was
a
peace
maker.
He
knew
things
about
people
and
knew
their
intentions
were
not
always
above
board
and
yet
he
gave
and
loved
them
as
the
Lord
moved
on
him
to
do
so.
George
was
bigger
than
life
as a
singer
and
entertainer
but
he
was
truly
a
"BIG
MAN"
when
it
came
to
life,
love
and
happiness.
He
knew
how
to
make
you
smile
and
bring
you
sunshine
with
his
words.
There
was
never
a
time
that
he
did
not
compliment
me
or
whoever
would
walk
into
the
room.
If
it
was
your
hair,
clothes
or
shoes
he
would
find
something
good
to
say.
If
George
said
you
could
do
something
then
you
could
do
it.
I
will
always
be
grateful
to
the
Lord
for
being
apart
of
this
mans
life.
I
learned
way
more
than
just
singing
from
George.
He
took
a
young
raw
kid
from
Indiana
and
gave
him
the
direction
and
wisdom
he
needed
to
survive.
I do
not
know
where
I
would
be
today
if
it
had
not
been
for
this
sweet
man
named
George
Younce.
George,
you
took
a
big
chunk
of
my
heart
with
you
to
heaven.
I'll
miss
you
everyday!
Every
note,
every
bus
ride,
every
little
thing
I do
from
here
on
out
has
little
meaning
if I
can't
share
it
with
you.
I
nor
my
family
will
ever
be
the
same
with
you
gone.
However,
we
will
go
on!
The
Lord
will
see
us
through
this
time
and
your
love
will
show
the
way.
We
will
find
strength
in
your
love
that
outlived
you.
It
is
in
our
hearts
planted
there
by
you
yourself.
Whatever
would
make
you
happy
we
will
do
and
in
doing
so
you
will
live
on
and
on
and
on.
We
will
sing
again,
laugh
again,
and
gather
the
family
around
the
table
for
a
great
meal.
You
loved
and
were
loved
in
returned.
We
all
miss
you
dearly!!!!
It
won't
be
long
Georgey
and
we
will
all
eat
together
again
with
the
Lord
himself
at
the
greatest
supper
time
of
them
all!
Not
Far
Behind
You,
Ernie

A Fan Remembering George
By: Femi
From: England |
|
I have just today, 6/7/05 read the news of
George Younce's glorious sleep of death.
It brought tears to my eyes.
He and Glen Payne have brought joy to my Christian walk
through their animating and experiential music.
I have come to love them both and earnestly look
forward to meeting them on the resurrection morning. Glory!
I live in far away England (UK), but distance
makes no difference to the glorious impact they have had on my life and the lives of my wife and two daughters.
To their families, let the memory of their life of service to the world unknown to you and them continue to cheer you up as you miss these gems of a creation

Gospel Greats
Celebrate life of
George Younce |
|
|
George Wilson Younce had his house in order.
``Should the Master call for me... I'm packed and ready to go home,'' are the words of his signature song, Suppertime.
On Tuesday, 1,500 people attended Mr. Younce's funeral to help see him home and say goodbye.
The Akron Baptist Temple opened its doors to accommodate the large crowd. The Stow man, voted the most popular gospel singer by fans for 14 years in a row, died April 11. He was 75.
Music and laughter marked the ``homecoming'' of Mr. Younce, who sang with the Cathedrals for 30 years. Fellow artists arrived in six tour buses from Tennessee, Georgia and Indiana to sing in his memory.
The first song, Amazing Grace, was played on the harmonica by Jeff Easter. The harmonica was reminiscent of Southern-style music played in Mr. Younce's hometown of Patterson, N.C.
Members of the Gaither Homecoming Family sang some of his favorites, accompanied by piano and guitar.
``In my 30 years of ministry, I have never heard singing like that at a funeral,'' said Dr. Arnold Fleagle of Norton, former pastor of the Stow Alliance Fellowship. ``That speaks well of the man. George was a global Christian. He sang all over the world.''
Mr. Younce, the bass singer and co-founder of the Cathedrals -- a group originally with Rex Humbard's nationally televised ministry -- spent years with the Bill Gaither Homecoming Tour. He also made special appearances after his retirement.
Bill Gaither performs
``This is for George,'' longtime friend Bill Gaither said as he joined The Gaither Vocal Band to sing I Believe in a Hill Called Mount Calvary, a song he wrote with wife Gloria Gaither.
The crowd cheered and gave a standing ovation as the Signature Sound Quartet performed with Mr. Younce's son-in-law, Ernie Haase, singing tenor.
A video highlighted Mr. Younce's life... scenes in concert, as an emcee, as a humorist.
It was that humor that Gloria Gaither will remember most about Mr. Younce. His laughter was contagious and he had a genuine concern for people.
``You couldn't carve in stone what he has not already carved in our lives,'' she said. ``He taught us to laugh until you cry, live until you're free... and not to save face, but save relationships.''
Bill Gaither, a friend of 45 years, described Mr. Younce as a ``really fantastic singer with a melodic voice who just happened to have low notes.''
Gaither said his friend used to send him the latest and greatest tennis shoes, once he learned Gaither liked comfortable shoes. He said he would get new shoes before the old ones would wear out, and now has enough shoes to last him a lifetime.
Generous man
Fleagle called Mr. Younce a generous man who carried a money clip of $50 bills so he could readily shell out money when he ran into a good cause.
``He tipped nurses who brought him food in the hospital and donated thousands of dollars to the church's youth mission group to help finance trips -- and if he found a bargain, you got it, too,'' he said.
He added that family members all have about a three-year supply of various items including toilet tissue, paper towels and a new cinnamon-flavored toothpaste.
``He was a gifted vocalist and a gifted communicator. For those who knew him well, he also preached a pretty powerful sermon,'' said the Rev. Phil Hoskins, pastor of Higher Ground Baptist Church in Kingsport, Tenn.
Most people would rather see someone living a life of service than preaching about it, Hoskins said.
``George lived his service,'' Hoskins said. ``His greatest sermon he gave us was his sermon of love and devotion to his family.''
Mr. Younce, who moved to Stow in 1964, was born to sing bass just like his father, who sang in a church choir, Fleagle said.
He recalled the story of how Elvis Presley heard Mr. Younce in concert once and told him he loved his singing range and invited the group over for soft drinks and gospel songs.
Haase said his father-in-law used to say it made no difference who he sang for nor whether he was singing to a crowd of 20 or 200.
The video ended with George Younce bidding farewell.
``If I go first before you go, we had our cup of joy... but our memory is the one gift of God that remains.
``I'll see you at the house.''

The Service |

Well, I don't think I will be breaking any rules if I post a bit about the Celebration of George Younce that took place today.
In a word - it was a fitting celebration of a man who brought so much happiness to so many people.
I was blessed to be able to attend, and it was so moving. I went to the visitation last night, and it was so nice to see all of the floral tributes. They were all beautiful.
The family is such a strong family unit - they were so supportive of each other - they were "there" for each other all the way through, as they have been as long as I have known them! What a joy each and every one of them are to me!
The services today was truly a Homecoming Celebration for George's homegoing!
There were many of the Homecoming Choir in attendance.
The services began with Jeff Easter's haunting harmonica playing "Amazing Grace" - the Homecoming Choir started singing, but then Bill Gaither turned to the folks in attendance and led them all in this wonderful song! How joyous to know that because of this Grace, we will never be alone, and that we will all see our buddy George again!
Gloria Gaither gave a beautiful commentary on George, as only Gloria can so eloquently do! Her word for George? "TIMELESS", with the common denominators of:
Laughter
Love or People
Love of music
Gloria reminded us that "we cannot carve any epitaph on stone that George has not already carved on our hearts.
Bill Gaither followed his beautiful wife with a discussion of what a "Giver" George was. He mentioned that George had a way of meeting people so that it was not "Here I Am" , instead it was always "Oh! There YOU are!!!" I am sure each of us who had the opportunity to meet this dear man can relate to that statement!
Bill also mentioned that when they were filming the 50 Faithful Years, he soon realized that the Younce family was not just a family, it was a CLAN! They are so close, as was evidenced in these past years with the girls rotating times taking George for his dialysis.
Bill summarized George as the quintessential Barnabus - he was a master encourager!
George's pastor shared that he always believed that people would rather see a sermon that hear one, and that George was a great example of a sermon! He shared stories of George's generosity, and his unselfishness!
I have probably rambled too much, but I just wanted to record this while it was fresh in my mind. I wish each and every one of you could have been there - for it was a joyful celebration of George, tempered with sadness at OUR loss and rejoicing with Heaven's gain!
Please keep all of the Younce family in your prayers - as they soon realize their "Normal" will never be normal as they knew it, but that a new norm is present - a norm of realizing how very blessed they were to have had George as their husband, father, grandfather and mentor.
After watching a wonderful video tribute Bill Gaither put together, Bill led us all in singing "Because He Lives", although I know I could not sing for the tears! Finally, a concluding song of Angel Band reminded us of George's new calling!
George was laid to rest in a beautiful cemetery, and the sunshine reminded me that I knew George and Jesus were smiling down on us.
It was a day I shall never forget; it is etched in my heart.
I love you Clara, Rick & Gina, Robbie & Dana, Ernie & Lisa, George Lane & Terry, Morgan, Christian and Laci, and Tom & Tara. To get to know this wonderful family is indeed a blessing!

Gospel singer
George Younce won
fame in Cathedral
Quartet |
|
|
George Younce, a two-time Gospel Music
Association Hall of
Fame inductee and
founding member of
the Cathedral
Quartet, died Monday
at Akron City
Hospital.
The 75-year-old
Stow, Ohio resident,
whose signature
songs include "This
Old House" and
"Thanks To Calvary,"
was inducted into
the GMA Hall of Fame
twice in 1999 -- as
a member of the
Cathedrals and as an
individual.
The honor coincided with the announcement by Younce and
Glen Payne, the two
charter members of
the Cathedrals, that
the quartet would
retire at the end of
the year after 31
years as one of
gospel music's most
popular acts. Payne
died two months
before the group's
final concert in
December 1999.
Younce continued his solo career and collaborated with
other artists. He
kept demonstrating
his ability to
captivate a crowd
with his powerful
bass vocals and
flawless comic
timing on Bill
Gaither's Homecoming
video and concert
series.
"He was one of those once-in-a-lifetime spirits,"
Gaither said by
phone from his
headquarters in
Alexandria, Ind. "He
always left the room
lighter because of
his presence and his
spirit. Probably the
greatest bass singer
of all time, but
that's kind of
incidental when you
consider his impact
on people's lives.
He was bigger than
life."
After the Cathedrals retired, Younce formed a new group,
the Old Friends
Quartet, with his
son-in-law, Ernie
Haase, who had been
the Cathedrals tenor
through the 1990s,
and two other
Homecoming regulars,
Wayne Pritchard and
Jake Hess. Hess died
Jan. 4, 2004.
Younce, who had a history of heart and kidney problems,
collapsed during the
taping of a Gaither
Homecoming concert
at Carnegie Hall in
April 2002. He
stepped back from
performing because
of health problems
until July 19, 2003,
when he appeared
with Haase's new
group, Signature
Sound Quartet, at
two concerts at
Hudson High School.
In a letter to fans after the show, he said, "For me,
there's nothing like
. . . four-part male
harmony . . .
singing your heart
out and lighting up
the faces of a crowd
. . . shaking hands,
hugging necks,
sharing a laugh. And
there's nothing like
doing what you know
God has called you
to do and doing it
to the best of your
ability and his
glory."
He made his last public appearance Sept. 18 as a
surprise guest at
the Gaither
Homecoming concert
at Gund Arena. He
sang "Suppertime," a
song about heaven,
and said, "Should
the master come
tonight, I'm packed
and ready to go."
Younce, a native of Patterson, N.C., was a teenager when
he became enthralled
with Southern gospel
music while
listening to the
Blue Ridge Quartet
radio program. After
a stint in the Army
in the early 1950s,
he sang with the
Weatherfords, who
hooked up with Rex
Humbard, a
pioneering
televangelist in the
Ak ron area in 1956.
In 1957, Younce left the group to join his heroes, the
Blue Ridge Quartet,
while his friend,
Glen Payne, remained
with Humbard at the
Cathedral of
Tomorrow. When the
Weatherfords left
town in 1963, Payne
stayed and started
the Cathedral Trio.
Younce returned to
Akron in 1964 to
convert the trio
into a quartet.
The Cathedrals were part of Humbard's nationally
televised church
services until 1969,
when they struck out
on their own. Over
the next 30 years,
Younce and company
won numerous Singing
News Fan Awards for
favorite group and
favorite bass
singer. They also
won several GMA Dove
Awards.
Younce and his wife, Clara, would have celebrated their
50th wedding
anniversary April
27.
Surviving with his wife are a son, George Lane of Powder
Springs, Ga.;
daughters, Gina
Eroskey, Lisa Haase
and Tara Aidala, all
of Stow, and Dana
Willis of Powder
Springs; three
grandchildren; and a
brother.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Akron Baptist
Temple, 2324
Manchester Road,
Akron.
Arrangements are by Redmon Funeral Home of Stow.

radio
program.
After
a
stint
in
the
Army
in
the
early
1950s,
he
sang
with
the
Weatherfords,
who
hooked
up
with
Rex
Humbard,
a
pioneering
televangelist
in
the
Akron
area
in
1956.
In 1957, Younce left the group to join his
heroes,
the
Blue
Ridge
Quartet,

his
friend,
Glen
Payne,

with
Humbard
at
the
Cathedral

Tomorrow.
When

to
convert
the
trio
into

George Younce
Health Update
From Kirk Talley
Today I received
a newsletter
from Kirk
Talley, who
wrote that he
called the
Younce home
Friday night and
again on
Saturday
morning, to see
if he could stop
in to visit
George. Clara
said Friday
night that
George had a
rough time at
dialysis that
day and had gone
to bed. The next
morning she said
he had a very
rough night and
was very weak.
Kirk talked to
him on the phone
and said he
sounded weak and
was not up for a
visit. I say all
this just to
say, please
continue to
uphold George
and Clara in
your prayers.
George is going
through so much
and is
weakening. I
know many of you
love him so much
and pray for him
daily, but I
thought it would
help to have a
recent update.

George Younce
Update |
|
George was diagnosed
with
polyneuropathy which is common in people such George,
who has diabetes and
kidney failure.
George has
been using a walker,
but needs help
getting up from a
lying or sitting
position. Was fitted
for a wheelchair.
They measured his
hips, legs & feet so
it would be just the
right fit for him.
As the technician
was measuring, George pipes up and
says, "I might as
well tell you that I
have no butt so you
might want to put
some extra padding
in the seat!!"
Gina, Picked up George wheelchair yesterday &
we're going on our
first outing today!
Where does he want
to go?...the grocery
store of course!!

A Note from
Ernie
Haase...
George's
son-in-law
First, George is doing OK. Ok is a kind way of
saying not to good.
He is
home and resting but
just seems to be
getting weaker
everyday.
Since September last
year he has little
by little been
loosing control of
his legs and hands.
The doctors say this
is because of the
prolonged use
of the Dialysis
machine. A
good day is for him
to be able to get
out of
bed without falling.
Someone has to be
with him all the
time. Between
my
wife Lisa and her
sister Gina George
really never is
alone.
His spirits still
remain great even
though he is confined to his
home. He
is an amazing man!
There are no words
for me to describe
how I feel about
him. He is
truly a "powerful
man" even though he
has no physical
strength.
Keep him and his
girls (Lisa and
Gina) in your
prayers. |

O Lord hear my prayers watch over
The Younce Family Keep
them safe.
In Jesus Name
AMEN!

The singers
went before,
the
players on
instruments
followed
after;
among them
were the
damsels
playing with
timbrels.
