Frank was my roommate during my Junior Year at the Univ. of Va. He was always a gentleman and one of the nicest individuals I have ever met. May God Rest is Soul and May God Bless his family.

I still think of Frank often. He was a true friend and a real gentleman. We roomed together at the University of Virginia and took our degree together. He helped me numerous times and never asked for anything in return. I still have the Cashmer Sweater he gave me. Every time I wear it, I think about Frank and how gracious he was. God Bless your soul Frank.

I remember Frank all the time. He always had a smile, even when it was at the Cancer Center that we ran into each other. A truly remarkable man, and a big influence in my life.

AS the World suffers thru this CoronaVirus Pandemicc, most of us here in the US have been asked to stay home and social distance. This gives us plenty of time to remember the good times that we have all had, which out number the not so good times like we are going through now. My thoughts of U.Va are always good ones and knowing Frank made them better. Frank you will be remember by me as we celebrate Easter this weekend. My thoughts and love with your family as well. Hard to believe we took our Degrees 58 years ago and that this year we would be celebrating our 76th birthday together

I still think of Frank frequently after these five years. He was definitely one of the good guys and we lost him way too young. We always enjoyed our times together. Even when things got tough, we talked it through and then found something to give us a laugh. He was an inspiration for sure, and I miss him.

As said in my original condolence to Frank's family, Frank and I roomed together during our 3rd year at Virginia. It does not seem possible that we took our degrees over 50 years ago. Every time I go into our walk in clothes closet here at home, I think about Frank and it puts a smile on my face, as during the winter that we roomed together, Frank asked me if a wanted one of his sweaters. I said yes, as it was a Cashmire Sweater from Harrods of London. Yes I still have that sweater and wear it often, and would never get rid of it, bacause it was Frank to me. Frank was always good to me and he made me laugh at times when I was feeling blue. I will never ever foreget him and the wonderful person he was not only to me, but to all others as well. You don't easily forget that type of person.

To Frank's family,
I want you to know that I frequently think of Frank, and cannot believe it has now been five years since his passing. Sometimes he comes to be at the weirdest times, just out of the blue, such as when I am brushing my teeth. Sounds crazy I know. I really loved Frank. He was s GREAT guy back at NA and UVA and in Norfolk where I am from and ran around with him some. I am writing to just let you know that there are people out here like me who still care and think about Frank. I don't believe in God, but if I am wrong and there is a God I hope Frank is okay in heaven.
Best wishes,
Chuck Davis

As an attorney in San Francisco and Marin Counties in the late 1970's and through the 1980's, I worked with Frank George especially with several clients we had in common, and he was not only honest and decent, he was funny and upbeat and positive. One of his early partners did mediation/arbitration, and I saw Frank at his offices from time to time. He had manners. I was delighted to read of his well earned happiness with his family.

I recently ran across Frank's passing in the UVa magazine. Frank and I roomed together during my 3rd year at The University when I transferred to UVa. I will always remember Frank for the wonderful person he was. Although I did not choose the Fraternity life, he made sure I was invited to St. A's on Big Weekends. During the summer after our 3rd year, I had the please of staying at his house behind the main house in Virginia Beach. His folks were the only people I knew who had a Real Indian Chief taking care of their grounds. I think after all these years, I still have the Cashmere Sweater that he sold to me for $10. My first ever Cashmere sweater. I will always remember what one of our joint friends often said, "Frank, your the only one I have ever known with three first names". We all laughed about it. But if there was anything I ever needed, all I had to do was ask Frank, and he would make certain that it happened. Unfortunately, our paths took different directions after taking our degrees at U.Va. Frank went on to law school and I went up to Wall Street. But very truly, I have nothing buy good memories of Frank. He was truly a Southern "Gentleman" in all respects. Frank is one of the very few I remember from UVa. in that everything I remember about him was good.

I just read of Frank's death in the UVa Alumni Magazine, and am very saddened to learn this. We were fellow Eli's.. He was always fun to be around, and I was enriched to have been his friend. Joe W. Brown

I am thinking of all of you these last couple of weeks. It is hard to believe Frank is not of this earthly existence anymore, and my heart goes out to all of you. Frank was so funny and smart and fun and I feel lucky to have known him. And as many have stated here, he was a true southern gentleman. My condolences to all of you and sending much love.

Dear Linda, girls and family--
I am so sorry to learn of Frank's passing. The bonds within your family became so evident from my time working with Linda at EY. I pray they can become even stronger as an outgrowth from the challenges you and Frank endured. Words fall short. May the Lord bless you all.

Lex, Vicki, Jess and the rest of the family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of your Dad from childhood... Softball games, field trips... Always such a great sport when all of his daughters and all of their friends took over the house for a sleepover. I remember specifically his laugh, and the way he would joke with us. He always wanted the very best for his girls, and for your guys to follow your dreams. Again, I am so sorry for your loss...you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Frank was a true gentleman and a very funny guy. I had the pleasure of socializing with him a number of times a number of years ago. He was the kind of person I wanted to know better, both personally and professionally. Unfortunately, our paths stopped crossing which was my great loss. His love for his daughters stands out as a defining characteristic of this man. I am deeply saddened by news of his death.

I just learned of Frank's passing yesterday. He was such a special and courageous man. He had a passion for art and an unerring eye. He was always so supportive of the gallery and so encouraging when times got tough. He would say "Look at you! You are really doing it!" I will miss that. I think he was one of the first to believe in me when I opened the gallery. I will miss him and send my deep condolences to Linda and the entire family. Donna Seager

Mrs. George,
My heartfelt condolences to you and Mr. George's children. All of you were so devoted to Mr. George. And so wonderful to the staff and Doctor at Kentfield. You always had a kind word for everyone. I always enjoyed the conversations we had.
I will always remember Mr. Georges expressive beautiful blue eyes.

I was on the other side of several cases with Frank over the years. He was smart, polite, witty, reasonable, and a southern gentleman in the best sense.

To Frank's family:
The very first jury trial I had nearly 40 years ago was against Frank. He was a worthy adversary but always a gentleman. We became friends and I will miss him.My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

Dear Vicki and the rest of the George family,
I well remember "Gorgeous George," the good looking lifeguard at the old Marshall's Motel in Virginia Beach
when I was a pre-teen. And I enjoyed getting to know him, albeit only slightly, when I worked for Mrs. George for many years. But I am saddened to see him taken so young. I hope that knowing you and your entire family are in the thoughts and prayers of others will bring you some small comfort at this time.
My deepest sympathy,
Trisha Rawls

Stunned! I last saw Frank at a NA reunion at Wayne Price's house. We had not seen each other for about thirty-six years. It was 2002 I believe. I don't attend reunions but I am glad I attended that one. Frank proudly showed me pictures of his beautiful daughters, and we laughed that I had all boys and he all girls. We both grew up in Norfolk and attended NA and UVA together. Our NA class was only 33 guys. Frank was the most handsome of our group of friends, and the girls called him “gorgeous”. We drove Carlisle the Florist's delivery truck some Saturdays guffawing at Carlisle's ribald humor and dirty language. I will always remember Frank riding in late fall 1965 in my top down, Corvette from C'ville to Norfolk for the funeral of a UVA friend killed in a car accident. Even though sad, we, like all young people with lives ahead of us, laughed and caught up as we had not seen much of each other at UVA. Frank had joined St. Anthony Hall while I had stayed out of the fraternity scene to spend time wrestling. This is a sad, sad day for me, and I express my condolences. He will be well remembered by his friends. I have pictures of Frank, tanned and fit, on the beach about 1965 with Huxtable's “Tradition” in the background. We had been drinking beer, not paying attention, as “Tradition” dragged anchor and drifted into the surf. We and friends such as NA classmate and VMI football star John Turner, young and strong and at risk to ourselves, ran into the ocean and pushed that big boat back into deep water, as a stunned Huxtable breathed a sigh of relief. Pictures can be had by emailing me: [email protected]. Goodbye my dear friend, Frank. I will always remember you. Chuck Davis retired to Quito, Ecuador
