Not sure what to say?

Oh Lord. How out of touch I've become. I just learned today of George's passing. The times I spent with him, whether on my little island in Gloucester or out on the boat on the Annisquam. And the fun we had during the Ft. Lauderdale stints; all I carry in my heart. There aren't many people like George on the planet. It feels like the end of an era. I truly liked him and will think of him always with warmth and humor. Goodbye, dear, gracious man.

George and the late Chet Collier gave me a huge opportunity to produce hard hitting investigative documentaries from 1968-1974, and I have never forgotten his kindness, and his total professional support. We've corresponded and met for luncheons over the years, and we last saw each other for lunch in the summer of 2009, when George was undergoing treatment at Mt. Sinai.

I join all of George's friends and colleagues from throughout the television industry in mourning him.

George is going to be sorely missed by all of those who were fortunate to have known him. He and I were truly good friends for 28 years. The countless number of times I visited him on east 57th when I lived in N.Y.C. were all filled with anticipation and happiness of being with someone who was a genuine friend with no hidden agenda. He visited me at my home in France on three occasions as well as multiple visits to my home in Charleston. Our paths crossed in Hong Kong in 1995 when we were...

G-

I've been thinking about you lots and the words keep tumbling and jumbling around in my head. I can't seem to find the right one or two adjectives to latch onto. Somehow, I want to write about you as if describing you to a stranger, but am having trouble keeping my thoughts in order.

Encyclopedic knowledge. Yes, that's part of George. From The Great Wall to The Great Barrier Reef, from Angkor Wat to Abu Simbel, from Machu Pichu to The Mountains of the Moon, was...

I was blessed to know George Moynihan for the last 8 or so years of his life. Besides his TV experience,which he never boasted about, he was widely read and well informed on many subjects. He always enriched my dinner parties with his presence and all my friends loved him. He was also so very generous and thoughtful. He always insisted I move informal summer parties to his Rockport home with its large deck and pool where he always enjoyed my "stiltonburgers" - very rare please. Geroge...

I've known George for six or seven years now but I'll miss the clippings he'd send me from numbers of publications. Always of interest and always pertinent. George was a classy guy, very intelligent and good natured. I'll miss his wit and friendliness and all the times in Rockport and NYNY. It was all too short but always wonderful. I was astounded at his background and his insights. And the privilege to collaborate with George.. He was quietly in stitches hearing me pining on a failed...

UNCLE GEORGE WE ALL WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. HOPE WE CAN KEEP THE MOYNIHAN FAMILY TOGETHER. LOVE ALWAYS DICK & DONNA MAGIERA

Uncle George made the world a better place every day simply by being himself. His generosity was only surpassed by his vivacity. The world needs more George Moynihans.

George, a wonderful, kind, intelligent and caring friend, will be missed by many especially his great friend Larry Fraiberg, who cannot memorialize him here. George and I knew each for many years but never as well as the last few years as we spent time together caring for Larry. He was a dedicated and loving friend and I feel honoured to have known him.
