George Dirkes

I can´t believe George has been gone for 10 years. Our relationship began through work, but after so many years of his incredible advice, it became a personal friendship. He was such a kind man and whenever I needed advice he was my go to guy! I´m sure he´s looking down at all of us and smiling. That would be the George I knew!

Miss you George. Finally moved out to Marin, as you urged me to do over 40 years ago.

George and I were classmates and friends at St Johns Univ. Law School. We kept in touch pretty regularly until a few years ago. My wife and I are visiting our son and daughter in law in San Rafael and just learned of this very sad news.
Our condolences to Gail and Jane.

What a wonderfully intelligent and pleasant gentleman George was! I was privileged to know and work with George during the Bancroft, Avery & McAlister years, and always appreciated George's chuckle and professional demeanor -- friendly but still the height of business. He helped me with a personal matter -- small in contrast to his normal work -- and never felt he considered my issue any less important.

It was an honor to know George, and I am sure those loved ones he leaves behind...

My heart is just breaking after reading this. George and I became friends after he asked for some help with his fitness goals. I worked with George for about 3 years and learned so much about compassion for others from George. When I needed help after the death of my mother, George stepped right up offering professional advice at a very difficult time for me. I am living out of the country right now and have just learned of this. Sending many blessings and healing thoughts.

Tarri...

I had the honor and the privilege of working with George professionally over the years, and he was an intelligent and courteous man with deep integrity and respect.
My kindest thoughts go out to his family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I connected with your family during the long wait when both of our loved ones were in ICC and surgery last week. Thank you for reaching out to me in a difficult time for you. I didn't know George, but meeting, for a brief moment, his sons and wife, I can see that he was a good man. My sympathies are with you at this time.

The strength of George's character was evidenced by the many people who took time out of their day to pay respects. A person's friends are a strong testimonial to a person's strengths. Special wishes are being sent to his wife Gail (a treasured friend) and to his children and grandchildren. With love, Alicia
