It was an honor to have worked with George over the years at CAS. His patience, good humor, and knowledge were a tremendous asset to all of us. I enjoyed talking with him over l lunch and at other times. It was sometimes challenging to draw hime out, but when he opened up, it was always magnificent.
He will be sorely missed. I enjoyed visiting with him at the picnic. Last time we chatted, I asked how he was. He replied, "Fine, fine... well, not really... getting older you know." ...

George was a regular attender of the Month dinners with a group from Columbus Gas Buddies. We had dinner all over the city and George joined us much of the time. A very nice and personable friend. We will miss you George.

George trained me to compose and write abstracts when I first came to CAS in 1970, and remained a wonderful resource person until I retired in 2001. He will be missed.

Little known fact is that George covered motor sports for one of the earliest online sites. He introduced my late husband Ken and me to CompuServe's Racing Information Systems, the jumping off point for our post-retirement careers as motor sports journalists. Thank you, George...may you and Ken meet on the podium after you take the checkered flag. RIP
