George was my friend. We met in Cincinnati and we were thick as thieves. We had a falling out before he moved to Seattle and I regret it. I will miss him.

I knew George, although only briefly, as a funny, charming, intelligent and sweet man, who loved to talk music. He and my daughter Allison were close friends, and he always called me “mom”. I will miss his laugh and his smile. Rest now George, rest peacefully.

I have a vivid memory of George dancing as a little boy at his Aunt Susan's and Uncle Steve's wedding. He was amazing. I was always proud of him and his artistic creations. I enjoyed when he would visit and we would get a chance to talk and catch up. I can't believe you are gone. I know you'll be with us all making us laugh. You were a very special and caring person and will be missed. Know that we love you and will see you again. Aunt Roseann.
