Dr. Rawls was the person who led me to decide to become a surgeon. Everything about him was bigger and better than anything I´ve ever seen before and he showed me what a surgeon could do to benefit all patients. I really loved every minute I spent with him, and he will always be cherished as someone God used in my life, Steve Dunn, IU med school class of 1978

George was an outstanding individual! I had the privilege of working with him in ISMA Leadership where he was always kind, thoughtful & supportive of the newer members of ISMA Leadership..thus a terrific mentor to me & others. It was always a pleasure to be with him & Lu..

Dr. Rawls was a quiet giant of a person. His influence touch many. His assistance without asking for anything in return was to many. I my 9 years as Indianapolis Branch President, WE could not accomplish much without Dr. Rawls assistance and counsel. Rest my friend, you have earned it!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dr Rawls was a gentleman and a very excellent surgeon. It was a privilege to train under him as a surgery resident at Methodist from 1985-90. He was a great teacher and a wonderful role model. Dr Rawls was a very positive influence on us young lads and many patients in our community have benefited from the lessons that we learned from him. His legacy will last.
My condolences to the Rawls family from the Pittman family.

Our prayers go out to you & your family..Elaine & Phil Washington

Dr Rawls was my mothers doctor for many years. She had the utmost respect and trust in him as her doctor. As her children we remember him being so kind and patient with her and we loved him for taking such good care of her all those years. May he Rest in Eternal Peace.
