Mrs. C., Jim and Jan,
Please accept our sincere condolences for your loss. We have very fond memories of George, "Mr. C", and his sense of humor. Both your patience and his we're very much appreciated while we struggled as musicians in your basement. I also feel that he was very helpful to me in starting my business career at Amerock. Our thoughts and prayers are wih you all.

What wonderful memories we have of George. He was my dad's mentor at Amerock and thought the world of him. We lost my dad last year and as they did in the years past - may they continue to play all the golf and tennis in which they so much enjoyed. Our hearts go out to you. The Noon Family

Dear Miz,
George and I go back to when I joined Amerock in 1968. I will miss him. My thoughts are with you and the family. Interesting to note that he said you lived on Rose Leaf Rd. in Pittsburgh while our home was on Orchard Spring, just a couple of blocks away. Small world!

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to George's wife & family. He & I were class mates at East, & I think the old Hall School. I was so sorry to read, via the Register's internet service, of his passing. May God bless you all.

A Good Friend, Boss and Faithful Amerock Leader for many years. I'm Thankful for the belief he had in me 35 years ago and gave me a chance to be where I'm at today.
I'm sure the Angels where singing,"Bear Down, Chicago Bears" upon his arrival in Heaven.
God Bless You, George and Thanks.
