Dear Debbie,
If there ever was a more loving husband, concerned father, professional soldier, endearing gentleman, outstanding colleague and good friend, it was Colonel George "Scoot" Powers. I sit here in tears thinking of the times we worked and spent together. Certainly not nearly as many as I wish we could have and should have had. We Wish You and the Family GOD's Peace and Love and Ask That HE Bless and Keep Scoot in HIS Loving Arms Forever.

To the Powers Family:
I was saddened to hear of the death of George Powers. I was his troop commander when we served together in the 11th ACR in VietNam. He was an outstanding soldier and leader. He took care of his men and never failed to accomplish any task I assigned to him. We took great delight in kidding each other about our respective colleges, mine was West Point and his was the Citadel.
George, old Friend, I'll see you at "Fiddlers Green".
Allons, Robert...

To the Powers family: My deepest sympathy to you. Col. Powers was a great man and the long gray line has lost a member that embodied the true meaning of a Citadel Man. He will never be forgotten in the hearts of the young men, like me, that he had a positive influence on.
