Not sure what to say?

A fun, funny MD to work with. I assisted him in surgery many times. Hard to believe he,s been gone that many years.

I am shocked almost beyond words, especially as I just heard: Too late for the service. I don't know where we will ever find a doctor and man like him. Above all, as a doctor, he was patient: Not rushed and harried like the rest. When I ran out of my complaints he would regale me with the best stories and worst jokes I have ever heard. I too was one of his "interesting" patients. He dove in with great thoroughness and enthusiasm. We hit it off from the first day I saw him as a "walk...

Jane and Family, We will miss him so! A one of kind man and physician. I remember him when he was a powerful doctor and a peaceful man, struggling with his health. I learned about compasion and bravery. He loved his wife, Jane, his family and his patients. Selfless and galant; one of kind. Dr. George; happy trails to you, tell my Dad 'Hi' for me when you see him in heaven. Mechell, Guillermo, Brandon and all your friends at BrightStar

To the Ward family please accept my sincere condolences.
George was a unique individual, with a wonderful personality, and the best storyteller I know. He could always be counted on to make us laugh. But he was much more. He was a responsible & caring physician, with a great bedside manner.
San Luis Obispo will have to look hard to find another like him.

Jane and Family,
George came into our life through Boy Scouts "Wood Badge". He made us laugh until we cried. When I needed a friend he was there. We are so glad and honored to have been apart of his life. Love, Andrea & Emil Mesko

Dear Jane and Family - I too am saddened to hear of your loss. I have many fond memories from far back. My favorites are visiting your home on Luneta when I was very young and then keeping that connection after you moved as I babysat the kids. I loved your new house with the great yard (for hide and seek). I will always treasure the loving kindness which you all gave me whenever I was with you. May the Lord bless and keep you and give you His peace. jackie Loper

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
