Karen and Jim,
So very sorry to read of George's passing. He was among the nicest individuals I've ever met, a trait which obviously runs in the family.
Always accommodating whenever I asked for an interview, he was extremely helpful during my days as a sportswriter covering golf for The Journal Times.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

A great man. Will always remember his words of advice on a windy day playing golf at Johnson park, When it's breezy, swing easy. RIP George.

George was a quiet man, but he was larger than life. He was a man of principle with a heart of gold. He knew how to tell a good joke and sing some interesting songs. So many laughs, so many memories. We were privileged to know him. We will miss his twinkling eyes and his laugh.
