I'm so sad to learn of George's passing; I will miss this dedicated, intelligent, and gentle man. I admired his quest for the truth and determination to expose it. Goodbye, George. I won't forget our project.

We will meet again. I'm so glad that we got to cycle the Switchbacks and swim in the Ocean. You will be missed.

George, I am honored to have been your friend these last ten years or so. You have taught me much about history through your books and it was a pleasure to be able to recreate the last one you had printed. Your vast storehouse of knowledge was an inspiration to me and I hope I can continue what you started. Rest well my friend.

George, we love you and will never forget you. You have been a friend to many fortunate people over many years--and we have always been honored to be among them. Your spirit; you zest for life; your eternal optimism; your appreciation for the very finest that life has to offer; your healthy and active life style; and your pursuit of good taste, good style, and good times have inspired us all. You have changed and enrichened the lives of everyone who knew you. Until we meet again, dear friend, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
