Dad kept a kind heart that often caused him to tear up at movies and a sense of humor that also brought him to tears with laughter. His faults were merely human and dreams too frequently deferred. In his heaven he puts his woodworking skills to use building the boat that he always wanted to build and he sails it on tranquil seas with his brothers, Fritz and Joe who preceded him. At night he plays the pipe organ aboard his Nautilus and all is right with his world. Some day I hope to sail with him and together we can laugh and cry and be human.

Our sincerest condolences to George's family. I will always have fond memories of being one of his colleagues at Brookfield Central High School.
