Not sure what to say?

i have so many fond memories of george and the many ways he touched and influenced my life. he was a caring and thoughtful advocate, a kind and loving friend ever ready of share his time or perspective. it is certain that george will be missed in this life and welcomed in the next. my deepest condolences to the family and many thoughts of bright moments!

I never met George Sarkis. My brother/friend Marc Berner would call him whenever he came up from Florida. Marc told me that GS worked on all the greats horns: Bird, Trane the list is a who's who of the history of jazz saxophone. About a year ago, I was into the music of Louis Jordan and I read that in the late '40s or early '50s Jordan lived in Philly.

I will always remember George with love.He is a kindred spirit and forever a brother of the wind.

I am happy he is with Violet now and sad for myself.May God bless you always,George and may you travel on in love. I was blessed to know you.
