I was transferred to the Finance department just before George return to the states (I was the new kid on the block). George reminded me of a special uncle I had at the time. A man of integrity. When he first got sick, the question was why or how? He was in such good shape. With Dee's help, he proved he was a survivor. George will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers for Dee and the family.
