I know George is watching from heaven all the improvements we are making at 12 Weatherwax Rd. Poestenkill. Things he may have started, is now being completed, as I write this. I will never forget George, because of him we are living in our dream home. Thank You George, and I look forward, when we meet again. God Bless You.
I will never forget you,
Joe

Thank you George for coming to NYSDOT, Poughkeepsie, NY 23 years ago!! Every time George walks by he reminds me of Burl Ives - a Christmas Story teller. He always has a story to tell. It is a blessed that he became involved in the training programs because he made every trainings, classes and courses entertainment!! He is a very good trainer and teacher. NYSDOT will never have anyone like him. I will always remember him!! He is truly missed!! God Bless!!

Brother George; I'm so sorry I could not be there with the rest of the family in your final moments. As you were aware, I was in and out of the hospital at the time and could not travel. I'm so glad we got a chance to talk to each other just days before you went into the hospital. It was a wonderful conversation that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my time on this earthly plain. We have lost a truly gifted story teller and over the top actor. It was always a pleasure to watch as you took center stage at family gatherings and told a story or a joke or two. No story or joke would be complete without your Russian/Irish-pirate voice character. You were a very large man and loved life to it's fullest. You'll be missed my brother. I'll make sure to always leave a place at the table and lift my glass at family gatherings in memory of you.

My heart broke when I heard of George passing on. I only knew George for a short time. Long enough to buy his home in Poestenkill. From the first time I met him, and the few times I had a chance to speak with him alone, I always had a special feeling inside, that he was a loving, caring person. I am so sorry, and my prayers go out to all the family, and friends. I love it here, thanks to George, and I will never forget him. God Bless You George, and RIP.

I worked with George at NYSDOT for many years in the our training capacities. He was a wonderful trainer...especially George was on many class evaluations. He was a giving soul and saved me a few times in and out of the classroom. He was a good friend, I felt he was more like a brother than a just a colleague. Funny, giving, wonderful man. I will miss him greatly. Sympathies to Matthew, Christopher, Johanna, and Ellen as well as the rest of his family.

I was lucky enough to work with George in training at NYSDOT. On my first day, he had put together a box of office supplies and welcomed me with, "Top of the morning to ya, Kiersten" in one of his accents. So many DOTers loved George - he made us smile and laugh every day. I use many of his stories when I'm teaching classes. George was a dear colleague and friend. I learned so much from him and I will always smile remembering him.
