I too served with George on the Friends of the Library board. As treasurer he did his job with care and precision, and always kept a watchful eye on our spending, just as a treasurer should. All this was done with sly humor. He is missed.

My condolence to George´s family. George served as treasurer of the Friends of the Clifton Park-Halfmoon Public Library Board. He was a loyal volunteer and an avid reader. Sending a message of peace to his family.

George was an integral part of the Friends of the Clifton Park Halfmoon Library for 14 years. We knew him as an interesting and complicated guy who always tried to do the right thing. He loved his daughter and grandkids without reservation and always kept me up on the grandkids´ current doings. The picture chosen for his obituary was perfect - I often sat beside George at board meetings and frequently found myself snorting with laughter at a quiet jokey comment from George. We will be thinking of his family.
