Not sure what to say?

Hey mr. Friedman i was one of your many students at Chelsea Vocational. When i heard about your passing from another fellow classmate i decided to write this...
I may have gotten on your nerves, but you was the best teacher i ever had. With that being said I'm saddened that I didn't get to say something earlier.

I just learned of George's passing. I first met George in 1981 when he hired me as VP Human Resources at Warner Cosmetics. I worked for him until 1986. The time at Warner was exciting due to George - his passion, creativity, attention to detail and his style were legendary. I will always remember him fondly.

My deepest sympathy to George's family. After a lapse of some years, I had a delightful lunch with my former classmate and Warner Communications colleague just a couple of weeks ago. George spent most of the time talking about his loving family. He was in a class by himself as one of the really good guys. A devastating loss. May his memory be a blessing to all.

My sincere condolences for the untimely passing of George.

George hired me in Houston in 1968 to handle Aramis in Texas. He intervied me in a Hotel and I will never forget what he said at the end of the interview. I was setting on a bed and when I stood up he said "I though you were much taller oh well let's go to work". When he left Aramis I went with him to Polo. I loved working for George what a great person. My Deepest Sympathy to the family.

George was one of my first bosses when I came to work at Aramis in 1977 and I will always remember his intelligence, wit and warmth.
Blessings to the family.
