George was a fellow musician and a bandmate at times. He was a very kind and intelligent man. Rest in peace my friend.

I met George when I joined International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) Ring 58, the Order of Smoky Mountain Mystics. George owned Chalet Magic where he built magic props and illusions. George was always friendly and willing to help young magicians learn the trade. 

George was also a musician and had many talents. Although he hadn't been at our club meetings recently due to poor health, he will be missed as he was an amazing man.

I’d like to send my prayers and deepest sympathies to Eddies family. My name is Kenny Wilson and we played together with Gary in Roger Houston’s band at the old Horse Creek music barn. Eddie and Gary both were wonderful musicians and it was a pleasure to play with them. Please tell Gary I said hello. Thank you. 

I first had the pleasure of meeting George when he attended our MEMO (Mountain Empire Magic Organization) in the early 1990’s.  I commissioned George to build me a large SQUARE CIRCLE from which I could produce a foot tall nutcracker (plus a gag rubber chicken).  I’ve been performing the role of DROSSYLMEYER in Kingsport every year since 1990.  I’m still using George’s wonderful illusion.  I will miss George.  My condolences and prayers to George’s loved ones.

Thank you Mr. Kimery for all the magic you gave us magicians over the years. I remember getting off of the road and becoming a fledgling magic builder. I would bug you with questions from time to time. You were kind enough to acknowledge me or never brush me away. I have never forgotten that. Now as a full-time builder, decades later, it is my turn to do the same and to help others in this business we call magic. Thank you for being one of the good ones. It will be an honor to see your crafted pieces continue to have a permanent place in magic history, a continual place on the stage, and in personal magic collections around the globe. May you rest in peace as we thank you so much for your kindness and for giving to our art - magic. 

I first met George when I moved to  Knoxville and joined the Knoxville magic club, Ring 58, of the IBM.  He was one of the first to welcome me and I later began working closely with him in presenting our club's annual Winter Carnival of Magic. He was an important member of our club for many years and well known for his master craftsmanship of magic illusions. I'm very sorry we are out of town on vacation and cannot attend his memorial services. My wife and I send our condolences to his family and his friend, Connie, who we have known after meeting at club  functions over the years.  With our sympathy, Mike and Darlene Stratman

George..Even though we had never met your Reputation for Brilliant craftsmanship proceeded you and over the yrs  I used Many of your Beautiful props in my show. Your work here is done..
God Bless you and yours.
RIP  George Kimery

My condolences to George's family and many friends.  He was a great man and a master builder of magic props and illusions.  We worked together on many projects for my show.
