Mr. McKinney,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

I have very fond memories of George when we worked together for over 15 years at Honeywell ... from 1969 in Wellesley Hills until around 1985 in Waltham. He always presented a very polished, professional, dignified impression to customers, while being very outgoing and supportive to his colleagues. I consider myself most fortunate to know him. My sincere condolences to his family.
