I just learned of George's passing today. I was fortunate to know George at Notre Dame and thereafter when I lived in St. Louis. He was the most creative, talented, balanced person I have ever met. We love you and miss you George.

Dear Viamontes Family,

I worked with George on several projects at Optum over the past few years. He had such a unique combination of clinical and analytic expertise. I was especially struck by his passion for analytics and his belief that they could positively influence the future of healthcare. He left a legacy here at Optum. May he rest in peace and I hope you find comfort and solace in his memory

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Dr. Viamontes personally. My only contact with him was to greet him when passing him in the halls or on the elevator at UnitedHealthcare. After reading all of the entries in this guest book, I realize how much I missed by not knowing him. I just wanted to express my condolences to the family and tell you that you will all be in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Cherish all of your wonderful memories. May God give you comfort and peace.

Dr. Claudia Viamontes and the entire Viamontes family, I am sincerely saddened to hear about the loss of your loved one. I did not have the pleasure of meeting Dr. George Viamontes but, I am sure that he was a wonderful man. Please use this time to reflect on the wonderful memories that your family can share. Dr. V, I can recall numerous times in which you mentioned the thoughtfulness of your husband that led to smiles and the memories of your travels led to stories that will always be in your heart. I am confident that God will give you and your family strength and peace. He was able to positively impact the lives of many people and that is a tremendous blessing. I will continue praying as well.

Claudia, Christopher, George, Gloria, and family members, We were saddened to hear of the sudden and unexpected recent death of George. He was not only a man of success... in all his endeavors, but more importantly, a man of integrity. It was well known and easy to witness, that he loved his family dearly. He had a million dollar smile and a big heart. I'm sure he is amongst the angels and watching over all of you. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. Keep your faith strong and remember that our eternal life is most important. God Bless you and bring you peace. In Sympathy, The Savel Family
