My sincere condolence to the Sopko family. I first met George when I was 11. I was a part-time-after-school working kid who sold vegetables at the "Central Market" back in the early 60s. I really, really admired George. He was a fire fighter and himself working part-time at the market. I had the opportunity to connect with George years later after I joined CFD. I, now also retired from CFD, will always remember George: My hero, my inspirer and my friend.
