To George's family - I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with him at Local 1301 for many years. He was a quiet character, with a quirky little laugh. Enjoyed our time together. Again, Norma and family, I am sorry for your loss. Judi House

George was my training engineer when I started with the Kern County Fire Department in January 1973 at the Riverview fire station. He raised me from a pup.
His emphasis was always " do it right the first time".
If you're a B-29 mechanic or a firefighter, this philosophy will keep your crew alive.

God's speed, George
and thank you
