My condolences to the Alcott family. There were fewer people in this world that were better than George. He Sacrificed, He Gave but most of all He Cared. The labor movement lost a Leader but the World lost a GREAT person.

George, you were a mentor to me, an inspiration and a father figure in the early years of my career and trusted in me to represent you and the union in contractual bargaining and at national conventions. Our time together is a cherished memory between the laughs we had and the struggles during bargaining throughout it all you were the foundation that kept the union and its members going. You will be dearly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you.
