My deepest condolences. George will be deeply missed by all. His sharp humor and rough edges kept everyone on their toes, and his presence always made an impact. He was a great teacher and mentor—one who challenged, inspired, and guided with unwavering honesty.
Godspeed, George

Dear Donna and family, Please accept my condolences for your loss. George has been a huge support to my son and myself for over 20 years. He knew my 210 inside and out, and whatever the problem, he was always there with his advice and help. Years ago my son and I had a flat tire upon landing at night at Buffalo Airfield and didn't know what to do. After a call to him he showed up with dollys and helped us get the plane off the runway. He volunteered to help me fly patients for Angel...

So sorry for your loss. George was truly one of a kind. A unique friend and mentor I will miss. I know he will be missed by your family as well as a huge community of pilots and aviation enthusiasts he encouraged and help here in WNY and through EAA nationally.
