George's death brings an end to a glorious chapter in the history of boy choirs in the 20th century. I learned much from him and his legacy lives on through many of us who knew him.

Fort Worth has suffered a great loss of a powerful man of integrity. I was blessed to have been affiliated with him as a member from 1963 - 1969. He was not a mere choir director. He taught all of us to revere our God and groomed us to become the men that we are today. He taught all of us the life skills that are so badly needed in our world today. We would recite Psalms from MEMORY on the tour bus. Remember guys? Go with God, George. My condolences to you, Kenneth.

Dear Maestro,
There must certainly have been a vacancy in Heaven for a top-drawer choral conductor, and the heavenly choirs got one in you. Thank you for an endless parade of blessings that you brought to me personally and to my California Boys' Choir. Your eleven years of three or more weeks per year of work lifted my choir over into the professional level of achievement.
We will never forget you, your sense of humor, your encyclopedic knowledge of life's most important elements, and for your faithfulness to your friends and colleagues.
You have left a lasting legacy in the field of boychoir in America that is indelible, by creating an authentic American version of the boychoir art form. The George Bragg Music LIbrary at the University of North Texas now houses your collection of books and writings that reflect your unselfishness and forethought for future generations of choir directors.
God bless you! God bless your family, and especially Kenneth, your faithful companion.

We have the memories of a man who not only contributed profoundly to our profession, but more personally, one who changed my life and enhanced my understanding of the how beautiful and meaningful music can be in the life of a child when the child understands the true meaning of art in his/her life. As a university music professor, there were very few classroom lectures that he was not present in my words and his spirit gave my thoughts depth that would have been absent without his effect on me. Would that I could have had his understanding and his ability to communicate that understanding in such a way that the lives of my students could have been as deeply enriched coming from me as that understanding had enriched those who heard (or read) his words. I'm genuinely grateful and blessed to have known and loved him.

We will miss the wonderful music, your genius and your hugs. Such a loving and caring man. Your star will shine brightly in our memories for years to come. Words just do not do you justice. We love you.

As a former Boy Choir member (1955 to 1960) I have many fond memories of Mr. Bragg. He was truly one of a kind and taught me many "life lessons" that I have kept thruout. He certainly touched many and will be missed.
