Mary and children and entire Westwood family. I was so sorry to hear of George's illness and passing. You will be in my prayers in the days and months that follow. I pray that you feel the Peace that only God can give.
I lost my precious Mark just 11 months ago to this horrible disease called cancer. We need a cure.

George was a student of mine when I taught at Penn Charter and I remember him very well as an outgoing, friendly, and enthusiastic student. I was also a private pilot and at his request took him up flying from North Philadelphia Airport when he was a senior at PC and let him operate the controls in flight which I believe he told me was his first time up in an airplane. I knew he had gone on to a distinguished career as a naval aviator and hope that I had a small part in encouraging him to do that by taking him flying so many years ago. Bruce C. Cooper (OPC '64)

I attended high school with George, and we were good friends then.
I had not seen him for many years, but he was a great person, and teammate in sports. I'll always remember that great smile and fun loving nature.
I particulary wish sister Jeannie peace and sorrow for the loss of your brother.
God Bless all of George's friends and relatives. Bob Marquess OPC 73
