It was George's wish to share the following text which was prepared by him: George lived a long, happy, and eventually openly gay life despite many challenges. During his life, he hurt some people, and he helped some others. He asks for forgiveness from those whom he hurt and hopes that those whom he helped will have fond memories of him.
