Not sure what to say?

George and I met in 1961, at the University of Richmond. George was my "little brother" in Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. We both got a chuckle out of me, at 5'8", being George's "big brother." I will miss George's NY sense of humor and picture him young, in a basketball game, standing high post, towering over most other players. The last time I saw George was with Kay and UofR footballer, Johm Sheranek, at the Panda Chinese restaurant. Good memories. Peace be with you and your family George. I...

My family was recently reminiscing about the Hunton Hustlers days. Thank you coach! Forever childhood memories!

Please know that the staff of the R-MC Campus Store shares your family's sorrow over George's death. He sounds as if he was a "larger than life" type of guy who was a great friend to everyone and whose friendship others must surely have treasured. Barbara is such a special part of our R-MC family , and we send expressions of our heartfelt sympathy to her and to her family. God bless you all. Barclay, Rebecca, Terri, and Gabe

Kay, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I remember when first meeting George thinking this man is going to be intimidating because of his size. I soon realized he was just a "big old teddy bear". He always made me laugh. He will forever be remembered. Cherish all the wonderful times together and share the memories. Sincerely, Sharyn and Tom Ward

I knew George through WRBA. We didn't know each other well, but I always regarded him as a very kind man. May Perpetual Light shine upon him, and may his soul rest in Peace.

So sorry to hear about George's passing. I knew him for many years through the Virginia Association of Roofing Professionals where he taught one of the first apprenticeship classes and as a member of the West Richmond Businessmen's Association. I have some great memories of George!

So sorry to hear. I remember going to softball games with dad and George and the Richfood crew. Many fond memories. He will be truly missed. Sending our condolences

Barbara and Kay, So sorry for the loss of your father and husband. Much love goes out to all of you. God Bless

Many wonderful memories of George! I'm so thankful to have such a wonderful man in our family. May he rest in peace. Thinking of you Kay and Barbara.
