George was a kind, caring and amazing man. I loved sitting down and chatting with him about his drink, his dowsing and his life experiences.

Rest in peace, George. Here's a toast (with your drink, of course) to an amazing 100 years!

George was an amazing man with a love for life, a never-ending quest for knowledge and a zest for healthy living which we could all learn from!

Our family was blessed to have known him and have him as a part of our lives.

As an avid believer in daily exercise (both mentally and physically), healthy eating and natural ways to prevent and cure illness, he was an inspiration to me and my family and we live our lives according to the George Gershman way! (My pantry is never without George Gershman's all-natural honey!)

His presence will be missed...but his indelible mark has been left in our hearts and our lives forever.

We will miss you George and may you now rest in peace...
