Met George and your mom through Key Club while I was at Bishop Luers HS, so sweet and kind. I have thought of them through the years. I ran into George again last year at Park Place. Truly amazing and kind. Such a dear man. I am a better person for knowing him. God bless him and his reunion with your mom.

I worked with George at the Red Cross. I never forgot him because e was a true gentleman and a delight to work with. I recall thinking that if the world had more George Drews, it would be more civil and friendly. Rest in peace, George.
