Working with George for several years through Alabama Power publications, he always had great attention to detail while having fun. He would always say did you see this ? I will miss George. A great friend. A great fisherman.

George was one of the good guys...always faced adversity with a smile. Never a cross word for anyone. He was able to capture our lives with his camera and eyes. He will be missed and known as a friend to all.
