George was a colleague of mine at Holyoke Community College. He was such a nice humble man who always took the time to talk with people. I remember him well and the many conversations we had passing each other in the hallways. My condolences to his family.

I remember George well from working with him many years at Holyoke Community College. He was a respected, caring and humble person and we shared many laughs. My deepest sympathies to his family. RIP George.

George was a good man and an admired educator. My brother had George as a Professor and never forgot him as an outstanding educator. I later got to know him as a collegue and he worked very well with our students in student supports. He was very easy to speak to and often visited after retiring.
So very sad to hear of this loss and hope you can find Peace in knowing he will be remembered fondly.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Dr Gaudette. Truly an exceptional Man. He gave me a start both in my education and in later becoming an educator.

I worked with George at Holyoke Community College starting in 1993 and he and I remained friends until his retirement. He was a wonderful man. When I was the Chapter President of the Teachers' Association at the College George was a faithful advisor to me; he shared his experience and his wisdom and helped to make my job a whole lot easier. George was a talented and gifted educator, well-respected by his students and his colleagues alike. HCC was very lucky to have him on its staff, and...
