I LOVE YOU UNCLE GEORGIE <3

George and I were friends from Kindergarten, Harper School and New Trier; through Cub Scouts and first homes, etc. I knew his immediate family well. He will be greatly missed for his genious and personality.

I just talked with my father ( a spry 91 year old ) and he wanted me to offer his best thoughts and wishes to your family. Since Dad's suffering from Macular Degeneration and doesn't see well - I'm sending this in his name.

The Windhorst family and my family were neighbors in Wilmette. It seemed that George and my brother Steve (NTHS-'67) were always together trying their best to stay out of trouble - lol.
I can still picture Georges wonderful, impish, beaming smile.
My condolences to all ! Bill

George was and still is a Giant among men. I will alway's cherish the fun we had. Forever use what you taught me about myself and live life to the fullest as you did to the best of your ability. Your Last words Lynne love . Marti,Jesse,Kerri,Tony

My deepest sympathy to George's family....I go way back to New Trier HS with George, we worked together on the 21st Reunion... I have lots of stories to remember about him...he was the popular guy, the funny guy and lots of fun.....I'll bet he's making them laugh in Heaven...

Jim and I haven't seen George for a long time...but what wonderful, fun memories we have of him at Langtrys. He was such a kind hearted sweet man. I am so sorry for his family and friends. He truely was the "Senator" and will be remembered in the kindest and softest of terms. God Bless you George !!!

Known as Senator Floyd George in the Dr. Bop & the Headliners group, George was a great friend as well as an astute student of life. He will always be remembered, with a chuckle included.
