Dear Melinda & Family ...

Where to start? George was a tremendous friend and pillar of support while I worked with him at TSI/CMS. Regardless if our conversations were work-related or social, he treated me with such kind regard, respect, and friendship. We shared many laughs and anecdotes in those days. Although he worked in an entirely different department from mine, he provided me with such leadership, work ethic, and support in any conversation through his generous open-door policy....

Melinda-
It was so good to see you and your beautiful children at the funeral. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting in your class at church listening to you and George teach us and inspire us. I can't tell you enough what an inspiration you were to me, at a very crucial time in my life when I desperately needed that inspiration and guidance. I remember going into your home and feeling nothing but love and peace and happiness there. My thoughts are still with you, as I know the days...

Dear Melinda,

One of my visiting teachers – Judy Murray – just told me about George. My father always says there isn’t any such thing as “good grief.” But when you KNOW you are sealed for time and eternity to the man of your dreams, and that he will greet you on the other side of the veil, perhaps the grief is made just a little more bearable. We will remember you in our prayers.

Melinda & Family:

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this very hard time. George was a wonderful person and made a major impact on many. I had the fortunate opportunity to work with him for 15 years at TSI/CMS. He was truly an icon within the TSI/CMS family and an inspiration to many of us. His love of life, his love for his family and friends was so very genuine and real. He made us laugh over and over again! George was a wonderful friend and I will truly miss him. His...

Dear Wright family,
My deep condolences to you all. George is an icon, and a man full of fun, crazy times. Bigger than life, his family and friends meant the world to him. His Hawaiian roots were with him all his life in how he lived and treated everyone.
I did not see George much over the past several years, but when I did it was as if no time had passed. His smile was huge and the fun with him even better.
Please know my thoughts and prayers have been with you since his...

Melinda--Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Although we never had the opportunity to get to know George we have known you forever. We know that this is a difficult time for you, but you will get through it because of your faith and strength. You are one of our very favorite persons. May God's comforting spirit be with you during this difficult time and always.

George and I worked at TSI/CMS for 5 years and I was honored to call him a friend. He knew how to lead and he truly cared for people. He will be missed by all. May the spirit be with his family at this difficult time.

Melinda & Kids-
I hope you know of my love for George and all of you. He has always been an amazing source of laughter and joy. He always knew how to make me smile and make me feel like the most beautiful girl in the room! He had a way with people that I envied. It was always fun to see him with the Punahoe haole boys, you could just picture how they were in high school and college together and it always made me laugh outloud. He was a member of our family and always will be. ...

Besides my father, he has been the most influential male figure in my life. The love he has for Melinda & his family was the perfect example for me to live by. Although the World has lost a truly great man, his aloha spirit will forever be part of our souls. The Pearl Family sends love & condolence as we share in your grief.
