George was a good guy I knew him in Jr high school and remember his big ol smile and the school bus in the backyard. He really looks like his dad the finger printer and booker for the man. His sister was cool as well but can't remember her name. George wasn't judgemental of others when I knew him and we weren't close but I feel we would have been great friends if I didn't move or lose touch. I know his family misses him daily for good reason. Rest in Death George.
