I am so sad that Uncle George has passed. I so appreciate him being a part of my life. His sense of humor was beyond words!!! He cared for all and gave so much. I know I didn't get to see him often, but the time I spent with him and the family was special. Thanks for being my Uncle. I love you, Judy

Mr Baird was my all time favorite person going through high school. Greece athena 1974-1977. He was the kindest understanding man and he guided me though growing pains in school. I will never forget him. My sympathys to his family

I was blessed to have George as my VP at Olympia, but I always also considered him a friend. He had what I call a "teacher soul", he always took care of his kids and his faculty. He always made the many meaningless meetings bearable with his humor and his peanuts...I send my sympathy to his family. Sincerely,

Aunt Joan and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad I was able to spend a week at your home with mom a couple of years ago. Uncle George will be missed.

Love you, Judy
