Brilliant work on remington steele as well as in V...

A very long time ago, during the 1970s, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work as an assistant director on Eddie Gilbert´s production of The Cherry Orchard at the Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg, Canada. On the first day of rehearsals, I was struck by the resemblance of the actor playing Lopakhin to my uncle, George Sperdakos, also an actor.

Rest in Peace George. I only saw your work a short while ago but fell in love with it. You will be missed.

We'll miss George. He was a wonderful, professional actor. RIP, George.

My father, George P. Morfogen had a special relationship with George. They worked together for years at Pappas Restaurant as George pursued his acting career. George was a very special, talented, creative and loving person. He will be very much missed by the Morfogen family.

Oh, dear George. We are so sad at your passing. You were a wonderful actor and a remarkable, generous teacher and friend. We will never forget you. May God bless you and hold you. RIP George. And God bless Gene, who took such loving care of you to the very end.

It was my pleasure and privilege to have seen Mr. Morfogen in a number of plays at the Mint over the years. He always left a very strong impression on me, and I'm sad to know that he is gone. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
