George's death brings an end to a glorious chapter in the history of boy choirs in the 20th century. I learned much from him and his legacy lives on through many of us who knew him.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived. George Bragg, a man full of passion and joy --- you will be greatly missed. <3

Cherished memories always and
With deepest affection.

Fort Worth has suffered a great loss of a powerful man of integrity. I was blessed to have been affiliated with him as a member from 1963 - 1969. He was not a mere choir director. He taught all of us to revere our God and groomed us to become the men that we are today. He taught all of us the life skills that are so badly needed in our world today. We would recite Psalms from MEMORY on the tour bus. Remember guys? Go with God, George. My condolences to you, Kenneth.

We have the memories of a man who not only contributed profoundly to our profession, but more personally, one who changed my life and enhanced my understanding of the how beautiful and meaningful music can be in the life of a child when the child understands the true meaning of art in his/her life. As a university music professor, there were very few classroom lectures that he was not present in my words and his spirit gave my thoughts depth that would have been absent without his effect on...

We will miss the wonderful music, your genius and your hugs. Such a loving and caring man. Your star will shine brightly in our memories for years to come. Words just do not do you justice. We love you.
