George Rafos

Jill and family, I knew George from his college days at Coe (Cedar Rapids, Iowa). He was everything these other people here said; he had a core and a center, and yet he was fun loving. He was a friend; I lost track of him, and I always wanted to check in with him again.

Jill:

As a “retired” colleague of George’s for the past 8 years, I extend my condolence to you and your family for your loss. RETAP will not be the same without him, and it is not possible to think or speak of George without a smile and a chuckle. He always enlivened our training sessions with his wit and – at times unconventional – quick thinking. He was never at a loss for ideas and was never shy to express them. He always got his message across! All of us at RETAP were...

I worked for George and with him when he first came to Dow in Technical Service. He was a wonderful boss and a friend. I might have met you, Jill, at some time years ago. So sorry for your loss.

Jill and family,
May you find comfort in the words of friends and strength in the arms of family. George and his passion for life will be missed and remembered often. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jill,
I felt compelled to share my memories of George. George and yourself had reached you soft hands and lent such warm words to me during my difficult time without even knowing me or my story. I remember the feeling that George must have been an angel sent to me and millions more through his time here on earth. May God open his gracious arms and welcome him home.
