Dear Linda, Jack and I are so very sorry for your loss. Please know we are thinking and praying for you and your family. We are here to help any way we can. Bud, will be missed by many.

Having worked with George during his tenure at ORAU, I learned what an interesting man he was. He could lighten any situation with his laughter and his diverse knowledge whether it be about shells, magic, or snakes. The world will be less bright without him. My prayers are with you, Linda, during this difficult time.

He was always so positive and supportive. I enjoyed working with him and learning about his family. He will definetely be missed by many. May God be with his family during this time and may you know that George's friends at Y-12 will surely keep you in their prayers. May you find the strength to continue...

George was a wonderful friend. He picked me up when I down and stood by me in tough times and helped me learn from my mistakes. He was also there during the good times to cheer me on. I'll miss the NASCAR, NFL and UT football TV times spent with George. But mostly, I'll miss my friend who made my world a better place just by being there.
