I was just out of Glenbard High School when George came to the school. He managed the local swimming pool in summers and he was really great to all of us. He made a great impression us and all thru the years we often reminisce and his name always came up. My deepest sympathy.

George and I were neighbors and both attended the first Wiesbrook Grade School. He organized a very memorable school reunion many years later. A very pleasant and dear friend. A life well lived. My deepest sympathy.
Sincerely, Helen Hughes Schatz

George was a great employer and friend. I was in the home office of Dekan Athletic and also did the bookkeeping at home when my children were small. His move to FL was a natural with his love of golf and warm weather. It has been many years, but George is remembered fondly. I am sorry for your loss Carolyn, Mary Ann and George.
