George and my brother, Dennis (passed 2005), were best friends. They were a dazzling duo and often traveled together with Ron K...Saratoga, Thailand, Europe... I met up with them in Southampton and we all took the Queen Mary II back to NY. We"ll miss seeing him and Rose at the casino or meeting up for happy hour in Richmond. He was a favorite friend.

George was the best drummer i ever knew. He gave me lessons at his home when i was a youngster, and i was privileged enough to have him use me as a back-up drummer at Trinkaus Manor when he couldn't make it. George could have played for anyone anywhere, he was that good.Best of all he was a true gentleman who loved his family. may he rest in peace
