My sincere condolences to George's family. I worked with him way back when we were all young and launching our adult lives and careers at Design Interiors in ABQ. He was a favorite of everyone with his winning personality. I hope you still have your convertible Triumph in heaven, George, with the top down and letting the wind blow freely. You will most certainly be fondly remembered and missed.

I was so saddened to learn of George's passing. I worked with George during his tenure at Steelcase. George was truly one of the nicest people I ever met. People respected him because he treated people the way he wanted to be treated. He was a man of integrity...kind and funny, too. I was truly blessed to have called him a friend. He was one of a kind and will be missed. I am sorry I will not be able to attend his service on 7/11 but wanted to offer my condolences.
