My condolences to Johnnie Mae and his family. To say he was a good man wouldn't cover it. He saved mine and my children's lives and helped us learn a new way of thinking and living.

He was more than just my Doctor, he was my friend and treated my children with love, care, and respect. There's not a year that has gone by I haven't thought of him.

He loved his family and his dear wife and spoke of them often during sessions. RIP Dr. Von. Your time on earth was well spent and people you touched will never forget you.

I am a Behavioral Therapist today in Hawaii due to his influence of healing the spirit and the body will follow.

My condolences to Jonnie Mae and family. I knew George for 40 years. George wore many hats. As an educator, he was ALWAYS ahead of his time. He read widely, discussed avidly, advocated always; as a mentor, he never failed to respond to my numerous inquiries. For me, he continues to be an inspirer. May George rest in peace.

The best Toastmaster I ever knew - not only with first-rate speaking ability, but with his willingness to advise others. Unique, in a good way.
