George Heery was so many things to my wife, Yin, and me: a mentor, role model, advisor, gentleman and friend. George generously shared his professional and personal experiences with us and many others. From speaking to groups of educators, industry professionals, or students, to making time for a one-on-one meeting with a young aspiring architect just beginning his career; George was the best and made such a difference in the lives of so many of us. Our deepest sympathies and condolences...

What a wonderful neighbor, and to have his whole family as friends was as superlative as he was... I have missed them while I moved away, and yet, somehow, mainly through Laura, we kept in touch. He will be sorely missed, and condolences to Betty and Laura and the entire family. I felt like they were my family too, and I am bereft. Andrea Helfrich Hammond

I met cousin George with his wonderful wife Betty at their son, Shep and daughter in law, Liz's home in Marin County, CA. many years ago. I will always remember his wonderful laugh and huge open heart which I cherish! My heartfelt condolences to each and all of the Heery family,
love, Myrtle Heery

What a great life George Heery had and what a wonderful legacy he provided to all of us who worked with him, his friend and family. He was very smart but had the common touch in all his dealings. I greatly admired him for all he had done. He will be missed in the architectural community.

George was a delightful man. He cared about his family, each generations flocked around him. He was a good brother to his sister Carolyn. We met Uncle George and Aunt Betty at our son Seth's wedding to their niece Susan Keeter, then again at Amanda Kass's wedding. It was a pleasure to know him.
