We received the following information from Ernie Haase this morning:

It is with great sorrow that I must tell you that our beloved George went home to be with the Lord this morning (April 11th, 2005) at approx. 3:30 am.

We are sad and life will never be the same but we are happy for George. He had been so very sick and in much pain for the last few months but now He is healthier and happier than he has ever been.

More details to follow concerning the funeral.

Please continue to pray for the family.

Ernie Haase

Heaven is sweeter today because George is there! I just had to tell this great little thing that happened to family and I 12 years ago at the Robinson Auditorium in Little Rock. The Cathedrals had sang their hearts out all night long. After the concert, George was greeting fans as he sat on the edge of the stage. When my family finally reached the spot where George sat, I told him how much I loved the old song, "A Child of the King", which they had not performed that night. Well let me tell you, George didn't miss a beat. He sat there and sang the first verse and the chorus just for us!! I will never forget that. What a great man he was!!

Only eternity will reveal the scores of people this great man touched for all the years he served the Lord Jesus in gospel music. I know he touched my life, and for His impact on me I am most grateful. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in this time of great loss. May God bless you and give you the comfort of His Holy Spirit. I cant even imagine what a great quartet He and Glenn have already put together.

Sincerely,
In Christ...

George Younce. What a blessing to have known and
loved him. From paratrooper to presenter of the
Gospel. From a bottle of Early Times to tears of
joy as he shared his Jesus! To his dear family -
thank you deeply for having shared him these many
years. George sang it so many times...
"Thanks to Calvary, I DON"T live here anymore".
Vaya con Dios amigo

It was my priviledge to share the stage with George and The Cathedrals on several occasions. The impact George had on my life personally can't be measured this side of Heaven. Our loss is certainly Heavens gain.

George was a truly beautiful man. I had met him a couple of times at the Qaurtet Conventions and you could literally FEEL God flowing from him. He will be greatly missed. But Heaven has gained another remarkable person.

The Cathedrals are not well known in Australia.
I found them by accident and my life has since been blessed. One of our beloved "old people" was admitted to hospital suffering depression.
I gave him a CD of the Cathedrals and what a difference. He became a new and happy Christian and listens every day to the boys.

I was sad when Glen passed on and the Cathedrals ended their long and successful run.
I know George (through his Christ-filled) life changed many people's lifes.
What a legacy, what an example and what a model.
Thanks to the family for sharing their beloved George with the rest of us.
And thank you George for sharing your great gift with us, such a good natured mischevious beautiful person.
There will never be another like George.
