It was a great pleasure to work with George while we were both at the Phoenix plant. He truly had a heart of gold. I remember when James Groelinger needed a new tire for his bike and George told him he would take him to get one. Instead of getting him a new tire, he bought him a whole new bike. James was so proud of that bike.

There are very few precious people on the face of this earth. George was one of the best. I am proud to have known and worked with him at PCA. I am proud to say I love him dearly.
