It was a privilege getting to know George at Prichard Place Chapel and Main Post Chapel at Fort Knox. He was an inspiration and helped out a lot at the Chapels. Especially when it came to The Living Last Super, he portrayed one of the Disciples. I will miss him a lot. Now he is with his Heavenly Father in heaven.
