George and I worked together in the Oversea's division of Int. Harvester for more than 15 years. I recall all the trips George took to the country of Hungary assisting them with the IH farm equipment and instructing on farming . We worked in the Service Dept. of IHC in Downtown Chicago.
George was a great mentor to me as during our time at IHC service. He was a great friend during those years. I am sure he will be missed by his family .
Mary our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mary and children, I am so sorry to hear of George's passing. I enjoyed seeing him at Cecil's birthday party.
I will also remember the kind and gentle person he was. He was an impressive man and it was fun sharing good times with both of you.
Love to you all, Laurie Handy
