My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. George will be remembered and missed by many at Brian Center. I will always have the memories of George asking to take a ride with me in the van and him asking for a ride on my motorcycle. George was such a kind and sweet man and I will miss him.

As everyone that ever met George knew, he always had a smile on his face and a kind word to say. He truly practiced the addage, "Treat others as you would have them treat you". Although i only knew George through our affiliation at Brian Center i must say that he became much more than just a resident of where i worked, he became a friend as he would look for me each afternoon so we could share a can of soda and a snack. My heart is with you in this time of grief, he was very much loved and will be truly missed.
