Not sure what to say?

George will be missed by many who worked with him at Fries Avenue Elementary. He was a warm and caring person.

George was the VP at Broad Ave. during the time my children were attending, '69-'77. I worked with him in the PTA, and other school activities. A warm and generous man, that was kind to all the children and parents.

George was a very nice person. I knew him when he was the Vice Principal at Wilmington Park Elementary School. He was always approachable if ever there was a concern. We hit it off well. Over the years we would send greetings to each other through Elsa Saldana who worked in the school office at Wilmington Park when George was there.Though all of us moved on there would always be a hello sent over the years. He truly will be missed by so many. One thing I remember clearly was my husband...

George was Assistant Principal at Wilmington Park for many years. My wife, Becky Escobar, and I had the honor and pleasure of working with him there. And for years, he helped us with financial advice. He will be sorely missed. Our prayers shall be with all his family members.

Tom and I are both saddened to learn of George's passing. We had hoped he would persevere. We have known George for many years, and shared laughs and drinks at the old Rueben's in Torrance with a group of friends. He was always kind and great to work with - we will both miss him very much. Our condolences to all of his family members.

Mr. Finnie was not only my school Principal at Broad Avenue in the 70s, he was a friend to my entire family. He has always had a special place my my heart. He went above and beyond for me in so many ways. He will truly be missed. Rest in Peace, Mr. Finnie, (4th - 6th grader)

I was a teacher at Broad Avenue and it was my privilege to work for George. He was respected and loved by all, such a good person. His presence will be missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to the family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family,I knew Dennis, Marilyn and Barbara ,they are the best,so I am sure Geo was a good Dad,and he should be very proud of them and their kids as well,and the adorable great grandkids.. Phyllis Pennings
