George and I were good friends during our time at Grainger High School. He was always a super nice guy to be acquainted with and always had something to share with you. We have all lost a good friend and I am sure his family is proud of all of his accomplishments. I pray God will continue to bless his family each day....

I worked with George for about 10 years aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. He was a class act, he never complained about his assignments, and he was one of the best techs that worked form me. It is with great sadness that I received the news of his passing. May he rest in peace, and may God bless and comfort his family during this difficult time.

What a great guy.

Our friendship began at Grainger High School back in the '60's. Although we didn't maintain a close relationship throughout the years we would always take time to talk every time we saw each other. Not enough good can be said about George.
