I was saddened to hear of cousin George's passing today from my cousin Marion. I remember Cousin George fondly from visits to his parents home in NJ. when I was a child and later in life at family weddings and other occasions. It sounds like he lived a very full and happy life, although I wish he had more years. My deepest condolences to his family. May happy memories sustain you. Love, Pat

George was a fine Officer and a Gentleman, and admired by his troops. I was privileged to serve with him at Morristown 3/112FA in the 70s/80s. I played "Oldies" on my guitar at camp for the guys, and I fondly remember George, our Batn.XO, joining in and requesting his favorite song "For Sentimental Reasons", and singing right along, with that great smile on his face. Rest in peace, Sir, you have touched so many lives. I offer my sincere condolences to your family.
