George was a great man, stood for real things -honor, trust, truth, and was a guiding light for all who knew him. He will be greatly missed but his influence on our lives will remain and make us all better people.

Remembering the night Louise, my first cousin, met George at a Ballston Spa High School dance. I did not attend that dance, but next day I heard about George. George was a great man. Kept busy & did a lot in his life. Yes, he did love the outdoor sports. My heart & prayers are with you, Louise. Always remember all you did for George, and I know how blessed he felt, having you. Love you.

Mr. George Levinus was a very friendly kind man, husband and father to 2 friends . He was always exceptionally nice to me and I never saw him in a bad mood or treat anyone with anything less than the utmost respect. His sense of humor and laugh and smile were able to light up a room and bring a smile to all around him. He will be missed.
