As a new graduate physical therapist in 1966, I joined the staff of Baptist Hospital. George was also there as staff therapist at the time. He was there with me when my father died and I was there with him when he lost his daughter. I have never forgotten him. George and I had many discussions about life and religion as we ate lunch at our desks. I didn't always agree with him, but he always practiced what he preached. I have often said and told many others that he was the best Christian I have ever known. He believed, he had faith and he put his faith into action. I know his family will miss him. Heaven is a much brighter place now that George is there. Priscilla Gaston Tucker
