Not sure what to say?

I met George around 1966 when we were both Civil Air Patrol Cadets and members of the Buffalo Group Cadet Advisory Council.

I remember George's friendliness and his continuous enthusiasm to plan and execute activities that furthered the mission of CAP and helped cadets in his squadron and all of Buffalo. Group.

Dear Donna, Jody and family, I'm saddened to hear of George's passing. I earned my Pilot's license at Lancaster and truly enjoyed George's company. He invited me to fly an airplane and follow him to Oshkosh in 2010. May he rest in peace. Great man!

I’m saddened to learn of George’s passing, but I can smile at the memories of his humor and friendship during my years as an instructor at Buffalo Airfield. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

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.

Great friend , we always had fun even when working on airplanes. He help out a lot with the Williamsville Flying club , was great with the Civil Air P..towed banners for Bills games. At one time he was helping with my large hot air balloon. He will be missed for sure.
