George was my high school classmate. We called each other regularly. Judy, I remember you and your Mother and Father. You were always a good sister and George would always tell me about the good advice you gave him. We will continue to pray for you and family.

My name is Gary Sapoff . George and I we're hired the same time by Colonel Earp who was the provost Marshal at the time I served in the US army for 25 years then I became a department of defense police at fort Benning. George and I work together a few times on the road and of course out in the field. I got to be real good friends with bubba we used to joke around a lot of course I did most of the joking and now used to harassing about being in the Marine corps but it was all in jest and we got along real great we work , and I said we work the road together and we really had a good time we did our job we were honest cops and we love working all it looks like all the time. Lawman would give us a call if you needed a backup you would usually see me backing up everybody we taught the end piece a lot how to work the road Street survival and how to take care of tickets and accidents horse when we started out we work with the military police. We all start o u t together there was about 20 of us, I met George in 1983 when we all got hired. George is definitely going to be missed but he is joined with his wife now in heaven so he won't be in any pain or anything. Rest in peace my brother.

Sorry to hear about the passing of George. We worked together for many years at Ft. Benning. He was not just a coworker but also a friend. I'll miss our once monthly conversation talking about old times. RIP Semper Fi

Judy- I know your heart is saddened by the loss of your Brother, to know George was to love him. Now hes at our Fathers house in Heaven reporting to duty to guard Heavens Gates with other comrades. I recall when our families watched our brothers graduated from boot camp in Paris Island in 1960, I remember the passing review wearing their marine Corps dress blues in 1960. May he rest in peace knowing that he served country and family. George shall be truly missed by friends and family.
Semper Fi Marine, Love and Peace. Please except our families condolences.
Valentine Adam Gerbert and family.

I met George while volunteering with the ACS/Stewart Webster RFL. George was a talker. Our paths crossed again when Nan was at Four County Health Care & Rehabilitation in Richland. He loved talking about her and his family. He also told me about his time in Vietnam. I am thankful for George's service in the military. May God bless his family.
