Not sure what to say?

I worked for Mr Jones at Browns Ferry as the valve and drywell sr engineer. I have several very outstanding memories of events we worked together on. He was a character that influenced my life through his extraordinary ways of handling things. I have the highest of respect and he was one of the smartest men I have ever known.

I enjoyed working with George for many years. I will always remember his wit, guidance, and deep love for his family. So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss.

My condolences to the family . May you find comfort in your treasured memories and Gods promise to return our loved ones . 1st Thessalonians 4 : 13&14.

George and I shared many breakfasts together when he would visit SSES. Really a great person and I miss those chats we had.

It was my good fortune to work directly with you on the Power Uprate Project and the Turbine Retrofit Project. Your leadership was instrumental in the success of these projects. Your professional legacy lives on in the continued successful operation of Susquehanna SES.

My deepest sympathy to George's family. It was an honor and a privilege to work with George at PPL.

My deepest condolences to the family. George said to me in 1998, when I left PP&L, the following words "don´t you ever make a decision thinking it´s not going to work". Those words hung with me until today because it changed my life and career. Today I quote him on many occasions to others. I am lucky to have been in Allentown and saw him in a restaurant and had the opportunity to thank him personally. RIP George

Nita, I am so sorry to hear of George´s passing. I thought a lot of him and you too. I have a lot of memories of working for him at Browns Ferry. Prayers for you and your family.
