Not sure what to say?

George was a fantastic guy, and made a great impact in so many roles, for so many people. For me, he was a leader, a mentor, a colleague and a friend. His words of advice to people were always an inspiration , and always with the best interest of that person in mind, not just the textbook advice. I have quoted George many times when advising people, discussing tough issues, or simply uplifting a person when they need it. He is still sorely missed, but the man he was will never be forgotten....

So sorry to read of George's passing. Have always had fond memories of the Berkman/Copeland families. Linda Wienir Bloom Haugen. 425-891-8485.

Berkman Family:

So sorry to hear of your great loss. George was a very special, kind and considerate man. He will be missed by many. So glad we were able to take that boat ride last summer.

Dear Linda
we knew George only briefly, but we remember him fondly as a genuine and kind man (particularly kind and sweet with Eleena). We are thinking of you at this time

Linda and Greg,
I am so saddened to hear of the loss of George and of Jeff. Jeff was a wonderful friend growing up in Sunday school at De Hirsch. After all these years, I still have the fondest memory of a kind, smart, funny young man and a terrific family. You are all in my thoughts, and I wish you peace at this most difficult time.
Much love - Debbie Stern (David and Margaret's daughter)

Hearing the news of George's passing has filled me with memories. I am so very sorry Linda. I know you will find comfort through all your loving memories of such a great guy. I send my very best.

Linda and Greg, I send you my condolences and I regret that I could not be in Seattle for the services. George was a wonderful man and a big part of every community that he was a part of. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am overwhelmed with GRATITUDE that I have known and worked with George during my life's journey. His positive nature and wonderful outlook are traits I hope to emulate the rest of my days. Love and peace to Linda, Greg and the entire family....Doug Purdy

I am overwhelmed with GRATITUDE that my life's journey included knowing and working with George. Much of the good fortune in my life started the day I crossed paths with this kind and generous soul. The positive impact and his wonderful attitude will be an impression I hope to carry forever. Love to Linda, Greg and the rest of the family.
