Mr. Youmans was one of the best men I have ever known. I had the honor to work for him many years. There could never be another one like him.

How so very fondly I remember "old Mush." That's what we called him in the 1sr Company, USNA, Class of 1961 because of his heavy "southern accent" -- Mush being short for Mushmouth. We all had nicknames. He was a solid citizen, reserved and focused, reliable, and a beloved member of the gang. God bless his soul. Warm regards to the family.
Neil Block, company mate, US Naval Academy

To the family of George
Its been 50 years since I have worked with George, I was stationed at North Island Naval Base from 63 - 67 And I was on the Carrier Hornet with George on Det N,
VAW-11 (E1B) Aircraft. I so enjoyed being around George as I was a Jr. to him and he always ask if I could go on different missions with him, he was one of the best pilots on our team. We got to know each other over the length of the Cruise and he was just a great person and Officer, So we can all thank God for knowing George.
I still work with the Navy, I teach young Cadets to be good Officers

I am fondly remembering George today on the anniversary of his passing and on my own birthday. Our US Naval Academy connection as classmates and company mates all those many years ago has very much transcended the many, many years that have passed. Rest in peace dear buddy. May you dwell in the arms of the Lord in peace and fulfillment.

I received the sad news about George's passing on my birthday. It made me flash back over all the years to when George and I were Plebes at USNA in the 1st Compnay. He and I were from two different cultural worlds, but we were something special to each other. We were "classmates."

November 27, 2013
I send my condolences to Anne and family. George was a longtime friend dating back to Joseph Clisby Grammar School and the Boy Scouts of America. We did not get to see each other except for Lanier Class reunions because of time and great distances but after reading comments about George and his dedication of his time and financial resources he so graciously share with others during his business career was indicative of the strong character that he always displayed . He will be missed by many. Joe Smahs
