Coach George was a role model and has played a continuous role in how I view hard work and sacrifice. A hero to me - I cannot say enough.

My family has many fond memories of Elias. First as a coach for my brother, Robbie Mack, in the late 60's and then as a mentor and friend to myself and my husband, John Brinkworth, while teaching and coaching in the PE department.
Elias will be missed. May his memory be a blessing to his family and friends.

As the father of one of Coach George's wrestlers, my son and I have special memories of the coach. My son Howard Rosenblum and his best friend Tony Barksdale wrestled for the coach for four years. They are both deaf and the coach showed patience in working with the boys. He has an honored place in their development not only as wrestlers, but as young men. Both went on to graduate college and my son Howard completed Kent Law School and passed the bar.
