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

I first met George Younce in 1977 when the Cathedrals were in concert here in Adrian Michigan. I was in awe of his singing and his testimony. Southern Gospel Music will never be the same without this legend and those legends of Southern Gospel. To the Younce Family, I will say this, God Bless each and every one of you as you go through this sad time in your lives. My Prayers are with you.

I sent Birthday wishes to George on his birthday, Now as we say in The Salvation Army George has been Promated to Glory.What a time he must be having in Heaven with all his love ones, and many Gospel Singers who has gone on before him. He will be greatly missed by every who knew him and loved him. Our Prayers go out to all his dear family. We send our love to each of you. God Bless. Harold & Elizabeth Jones

My prayers go out to the family of George Younce. What a blessing he has been to all of us. Thank you for sharing him with us. What a beautiful bass voice. He must be singing up there with all his friends.

I grew up listening to Southern Gospel Music and George Younce was one of the greatest influences on my life. The first ime I ever saw The Cathederals in person, that was all it took! I became an instant fan and have loved them all these years. George had a way about him letting everyone know without a doubt that he was serving GOD and and his life and singing was a great reflection of this. There have been some wonderful people who have sang with The Cathederals thoughout the years and some now have the great groups, such as Legacy Five, Greater Vision,Mark Trammell Trio and Kirk Talley. The generation of groups now need to look back on the great man's life and how he served GOD and how he presented himself on stage. George we will miss you greatly but Heaven just got it's best bass singer there has ever been. I bet you and Glenn are having a time!

I had the pleasure of meeting George Younce when I was a teenager singing with a local southern gospel quartet. He took the time to hear about the ministry we were doing and thrilled that we were serving the Lord. I have never met a more caring man. He will be greatly missed. Welcome Home, George.

Family of Ernie Haase, I never new such a nice
bass singer other than George Younce.
There have been other men who could sing bass,
But Not Like George & that's a fact,
now i think the " old friends" song is even
more touching with another gone out of the
group!
