We shared our teen years together. It was good seeing he had a good life.

We remember fondly the Beckwith family and wish all of them the best. You are in our prayers and we are grateful for the happy memories. The Warren and Katy Coffey kids: Sam, Jane, John, Nora, Maria, Hugh and Devin.

I worked Narcotic Investigations in the old days and had many successful cases with George. He worked hard and was lots of fun. God Bless

Amy, I am very sad to hear of George´s passing. He will truly be missed by all who knew him. While it´s been many years since we last spoke, George is one of those friends that didn´t just fade away as time passed. A short phone call or chance meeting in court always made it seem like no time had passed since we had last spoken. He was a great guy and an excellent trial attorney.

I worked with George in Court. As I was an Inspector in the Bureau, we went to him for advice,and were in the trenches together in Court.Always ready,with a laugh and smile.Had some great cases with him.Rest in peace George,this saddens me to hear of his passing.....TonyCamilleri

George made work fun, his happy champion personality was infectious. His passing is a loss to his family, colleagues and those who knew him. May his memory be a blessing to his family.

My condolences to you. I recall hearing about George from my husband, Bob Perez, The two worked for the SF DA. I remember the turmoil at the office that resulted with the change in administration. After a long illness, Bob passed away just before George, on 10/22/2024.

Sweet dreams & may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Your office roomy. Jerry

George was a great lawyer and mentor at the District Attorney´s Office. Later when he was a defense attorney I had case against him and saw how skilled he was as an adversary. He always made me laugh, always had a smile on his face and a mischievous look in his eye as if he just heard some secret that amused him. My heartfelt condolences to Amy and the family. George´s spirit will always be around you. Jeff Ross
