May George through the Mercy of God rest in peace, alongside his dear Jeanene.
Both are an inspiration to married couples.

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Azar at Porter Memorial Hospital, both as a nursing student at Valparaiso University and in the ICU. He was a distinguished mentor and loving teacher. He was intelligent, respectful of all his colleagues, coworkers, and patients and kind to all. Dr Azar had a wicked sense of humor and an infectious smile. He could make even the grumpiest laugh.
Dr Azar and his beautiful wife, Jeanene, hosted some lovely parties and treated everyone like family. They spoiled us with food and fun. He adores his family and was so proud to talk about them. He left an indelible mark of love in my heart. I will always be grateful for having him
In my life. He truly was special. My deepest sympathy to his family. The burden of grief is great but how blessed you were to have him. Rest in God´s loving arms, Dr. Azar. Till we meet again
