He made a lasting difference in so many lives, and left a roadmap for us all to follow. My heart goes out to Deb, Ami, Heidi and Peter for your profound loss.

George was a great boss and a true friend. He put great value in family and supported me spending time with mine, even when we were busy at work. He was extremely influential in my son Mark´s life journey.
