Dr. George Larar was a friend and colleague to my father and a wonderful and devoted person. I met him and his wife during my fellowship in the USA. I will always keep wonderful memories from this day. Dr Lazar helped me take part in a very interesting orthopaedic meeting and we discussed the subject a lot. Condolences to his family. I am sure he will be deeply missed.
