George was a friend from the 6th grade through graduation in ’54 and then on to WCU. I remember lots of good times with him. He was a very intelligent person. When I think of Candler, I think of George. My thoughts are with all of you.
To the family of George Allen Cathey: I send my condolences and God’s blessings.
George and I attended Candler High School through graduation in 1954. We were good friends during this time and I thought a lot of him. He was of good character and had a lot of friends.
I pray for the family for peace, comfort, and strength from God during the days ahead and that just a word of encouragement from friends will help to comfort you.
May God fill your hearts with His abiding love,

George was my classmate and we graduated together in 1954 from Candler High. We spoke of him at the recent reunion in September and wished he had been with us. The years have separated us, but the memories linger on. We were a great group and George will be missed, we will honor him at our 5Oth next year. God go with the family and friends at this time and know he was greatly loved by our class.
George and I go back to the 7th grade-12th, at Candler High School. I am sorry to say I haven’t seen George since we graduated. I hear he had three lovely daughters, (bet that drove him crazy)but I’ll bet he was a loving and caring father. I grieve with his family at his passing. May God’s blessings be with each of you.
So sorry to hear this. I was a school mate of his.My prayers are with you, Bonnie
Roy Phillips Sara and Ruth, I pray God’s very best for you, George Allen’s immediate family and each one dear to you.

George was my boyhood related friend
as all Catheys and Wrights are. We grew up together in school and community. I enjoyed being around
him and Ken, his Dad. The one memory that I keep in my mind about
him in school is that he and Linda
Israel Rader slapped each other every day in school as a routine requirement. She died 2 weeks ago
and now, George. I have thought about him often. God bless all of you.
