I forgot to add the best anecdote of all! When we lived in Murrysville George used to come out to go hunting with my Dad. One such day he spied a beautiful photo of Lily on the table. "Who is that?," he wanted to know. "I want to meet her. "Will you introduce me?" And the family mythology says he said he wanted to marry her. I don´t know if that was true but I do know that George fell in love with Lily at that point in time. So my Dad introduced them and I think they went on a double date with my parents. Dancing in Pittsburgh at Guy Lombardo´s nightclub. And the rest is history. Over 70 years of marriage. How incredible!

So sorry for your loss of George. He was a lovely and kind man. I have always admired George and Lily. I have a memory of them dancing at George's 90th birthday party. It was a wonderful gathering. Thanks for the memories.

Mr. Bollibon had a significant impact on Westinghouse and many of us personally. His leadership was respected and professionally affected both the direction of Westinghouse and the many people he managed and coached. He always viewed business in the broadest perspective, unselfishly. It was an honor working for him. My condolences to his family.

Dan and I so enjoyed chatting with George the last time we visited. He told many tales of his adventures at Westinghouse and those of his father-in-law (my great uncle). Stories I had never heard before, especially about Yoska Baci meeting George Westinghouse one night at the plant. I so hope the family has preserved those stories. One of my best childhood memories is of George and Yoska Baci vacationing at our house in Maryland on the Severn River. My father took them fishing and crabbing every day, which they loved. When it came to steaming crabs, something they had never seen before in those days, they were both quite perplexed. George thought he might have eaten crab before--but prepared on a plate. Yoska Baci gladly traded his backfin for claws to a neighbor boy because he didn't want to tackle it!! Those good old times still bring a smile to my face. May you rest in peace, Cousin George, and dream of your beloved family and all of the wonderful times you had.
