I will pray for you I hope you remember me from Memoral hospital in the cafe.God Bless you and yours Oh it turns out that your dad taught my husband Jim to sky dive Isn't that neat ?

I want to thank everyone for the nice words to my father, who was the best in the world. I only wish I knew him as long as all of you did!

Blue skies George. More skydivers looked up to you than I think you knew. You will be missed.

Hey George do you remember..

My first experience with you?

You scared me to death!

I went on my first spectator ride(with this crazy bunch of skydivers in 1977), at the request my, then boyfriend, Bill Martin.

After everyone got out of the plane, you nose-dived the plane to the ground and I thought I was going to die.

You knew I was terrified, you looked at me, and just smiled.

Thanks George, for that unforgetable...

Thanks for the memories George. We'll miss you. The sport of Skydiving has lost one of its best friends.

Hope they have skydiving in heaven George. They just had a wonderful person join their ranks. I'll never forget you. You thought me much about life. We had some fantastic times in the sky!

George taught me to skydive back in 1969. He was quite a guy, and I can't tell you how much respect I had for him. He fell like a bowling ball, but grinned the entire time. A lot of skydivers owe George a pat on the back for all he's done for us.
