George Slayton

I am sad to see him go and appreciated all of the hard work he put into getting us all through school. He was an eternal optimist and very good at his job. He cared about the individual players.

I remember George Slayton as a kind, gentle soul. He made me feel welcomed at GT as a freshman football player in 1986. He was solution driven and student-centered, always willing to help. He made a difference.

Never will forget there were 4 of us freshman who needed remedial math so first quarter freshman year Coach Slayton provided private tutoring from 10am--11am and HE taught the class. Then, throughout my five years at Tech Coach was always there to help and guide me. Such a kind and caring man. with much love and appreciation for Coach Slayton, Scott

Coach Slayton was an unsung hero, always willing to listen & help - a true Jacket. Ronnie Pearce '72-76

Rest in peace Coach Slayton. Thanks for all your guidance.

I first met Geoorge at the Atlanta downtown YMCA. He was a weight lifter, and i was a gymnast. Later, we crossed paths when i was a student at Ga Tech. He was always a friendly, helpful gentleman. Jon Parker ME59

Coach Slayton was my freshman councilor in Cloudman Dorm. I will never forget the guidance I got that year. Rest in peace coach Slayton!

As so many ballplayers have siad, he HELPED us navigate our way through Georgia Tech. His door was always open, a great listener and was focused at getting you back on track. I am a better man, a better student, and a better business person because of Coach Slayton. I will forever be in his debt. He will be missed. GT 70-74 (football)

Coach always had his door open to listen to dozens of young people every day. He was not only an advocate for us but someone who cared about our direction. Deepest sympathies and condolences to family and friends.
