Deepest Condolences. We just learned from Jessie of George's passing when we confirmed his dental appointment. We are so saddened. George had such joie de vie. Not long ago he gave us a copy of one of his award winning orchid photos. We framed it and hung it in the office for all to see. Yesterday, someone remarked on its beauty and that they thought it looked familiar. It was because they saw the enlarged version hanging on the walls of Highland Park Hospital. We had the privilege of knowing both your wonderful parents. George especially reminded me of my own father: kind, caring, involved, and young at heart. We will miss him.

Deepest Condolences. George will be greatly missed for many reasons, but especially, his love of life. In this respect he was in a unique class of the truly super human beings as in his mid 80's I witnessed him blowing a Shofar, eating an entire Manny's corned beef sandwich in one sitting, leading his congregation of over a 1000 attendees in a holiday service, and dancing at my sister Deana and her husband Tommy's wedding - see attached photo. While we will miss his "whenever given the choice to sit or dance - always dance attitude" my mother Marilyn will greatly miss his companionship and all the plays, symphonies, movies, dinners, scrable games and other activities they did together.
