George was a terrific guy. For many years he volunteered to help at diabetes fundraising events. He was pleasant, professional, and of course very funny. Always a smile. Rest in Peace George.

God will definitely show all of you the way to smiling again. I know this experience will change you forever. Just remember all the good times you shared with your father and all the love he gave you throughout the years. He is not gone. He will live in your heart forever.

I have very vivid memories of George. I worked as in Accounting within the Petro-Chemicals Department of DuPont in the late 70's. George's office was next to mine. We talked everyday. No matter how difficult the day was we would find something to laugh about. There were difficult days. George loved to meet with the gang after work. For a younger man trying to learn the management ropes, George was a good resource. He was a constant source for opinion if you needed to hear words from his prospective. He was always careful not to offend anyone, he was careful to always be respectful of others feelings. At that time, as an African-American man who recently served in the Military, we had lots of stories to tell each other.

GOD Bless, you George.
