George, Thank You for telling us the Truth.

Dear Sharon and Family,
I'm sorry this is late. I have a wonderful memory. It was 1999 and Leo (Gorenstein)and I were leaving for Asia. George was considering publishing the whole of the CASE tests in Substance. He gave Leo a copy of the math portion. What a pitiful test!

Sharon and Family, I'm praying for you during this time,

To Dan and Schmidt family.
As a Whitney Young baseball dad I loved watching the games with George. He was so into the games and watched with great understanding. He was totally devoted to Dan's performances and was committed to the teams success.
My deepest condolences.
Dan, I hope you are doing well, and we wish you all the best from the Friedman - Whitney Young baseball family.

George made a great contribution to the struggle for justice. He also helped mentor me when I was figuring out how to do my job as union delegate at my school. I want to send my condolences to his family. Thank you, George, for all you have done to help make the world a better place. We will miss you. We will keep up the fight!
