George was an amazing contributor to the Ocean Rise Condominium over the last 38 years. He served for decades as the pool manager insuring that it was always in great condition for everyone to enjoy. He was also an extraordinary President of the condominium association for many years and was elected and reelected by the grateful Ocean Rise owners in recognition of his continuous great work, his diligence, and attention to detail. He will be sorely missed by everyone in his Beach Family.
