George's quiet smile will remain with those who knew him. George always had time for a hug,often with a kiss or handshake for friends, colleagues and anyone he encountered anywhere. His legacy will always remain with all of us.

My deepest condolences for your loss. It's clear that he was a driven and sincerely passionate man. Many do not take the time to enjoy nature, not only for its beauty but the amazing science behind. May his family and friends continue to enjoy nature and find peace through prayer to our Heavenly Father.

It is wonderful to know that Mr. Rabb's personal interest for the animals and for us is of great esteem. Walking into a habitat like that is like being in a mini paradise away from all ugliness because you are in awe of creation! May this great accomplishments be treasured and bring warm smiles to the Rabb family. May the "Almighty God give you joy, peace and hope" that soon we shall be in a "paradise" like this together with our loved ones that have left us only for a brief moment. (Luke 23:43)

Condolences to the family and friends. His conservation efforts are appreciated and enjoyed by so many. May God comfort the family. Isaiah 11:6-9 speaks of a time when animals will not have to be isolated, but will be enjoyed by all.

Mr. Rabb's contributions to zoology even though celebrated by many are undervalued. His love and appreciation for biodiversity was far ahead of his time. Everything was created for a purpose. I know Mr. Rabb will be overjoyed when God fulfills his purpose of renewing the earth and all its creatures. ( Isaiah 65:17-25) May his family take comfort as he rests in peace awaiting a better day.

Dearest Family (this includes the Chicago-area Brookfield Zoo) and Friends of George Rabb,

We send our deepest condolences to you. Certainly George will be missed in the local and international communities. He accomplished much in a short time, and his legacy will continue.

While words fail to capture the pain of losing George, may you find comfort in knowing that he is safe in the memory of God. May He sustain you at this time of such great loss. We can't understand exactly how you feel, but God does and He will keep comforting you.

May you continue to cherish the memories you have and may good memories provide solace for all.

May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father comfort your hearts and make you firm (or strengthen you).2 Thess. 2:16, 17.
