Assunta, Kai-Ching, and Kai-Ming-I don't know if you will remember me, but I lived downstairs from you on St. Paul. I was just thinking of you all today and was sad to hear about George, who I remember as a kind man. I remember you all fondly, especially playing with the "kids" in the hallway and the yard. Please accept my belated condolences.

George was my one time close friend. He got me the first professional job when I was a studend at Northeastern. He was very funny, caring, and generosity guy. Although we disconneted for many years, memories are still vivid. I remember one time when we drove from Maine to Boston on a business trip, we almost ran out of gas becarse I forgot fill the tank. The day was getting dark and I became worry. George was very optimistic. He joked around with me while calculating distance vs. remaining gas in tank. Oh, what a great guy, he made an influency by smiling. George, as the days and weeks pass, I will cherish your smile forever.

For all of us who are connected by the Asian American Resource Workshop and the local Asian American community, we are left with his belief that we should, we can and we will have a voice and a presence. He and Assunta supported us in so many ways. George's time, his efforts, and guidance never to be forgotten. I will miss that smile that he always had, even in a heated discussion, he opened with a smile.

George's belief in the next generation of leaders and AARW's work made an impression on me that continues to influence the work I do today. He has left the world a better place. Deepest condolences to Assunta and the rest of his family.
