George was an exceptionally kind and generous teacher, mentor, and friend--always there with a smile, a funny or encouraging story, and ready to help. He will be so dearly missed. Ann and Greg, I am so sorry for your loss. George was always so proud of his family and spoke of you often.

George's passing is tremendously sad day, particularly George's family. I am grateful for his life and life's work, which helped contribute greatly to the curbing of HIV globally. He was a kind and patient scholar, teacher and mentor to me and so many others. Rest in peace, George, because you have done so much for the good of everyone.
