Went to Drewry Mason with George, and I knew Leah. What sweet people, my sincere sympathy.

George and I were classmates in high school at Drewry Mason. He was a good guy and I mean that in the best sense of the phrase. We spent a lot of time together, he was interesting and surprisingly soft spoken for a man his size. Good athlete and very smart, he made any day more interesting. We had lots of fun in his Triumph convertible cruising around Martinsville.
I will miss my friend, we talked fairly regularly over the previous 3-4 years.
I hope everyone who cared for George will remember him at his best and be comforted by those thoughts and images.
Thoughts and prayers to his family........

So sorry for the loss of George. He and I went to school together at Danville Community College aka Danville Technical Institute. We were in the same classes and fraternity. Also the first in our group to get married. I lost contact with most of the class but not him. Rest in peace my friend.

Way way back I remember our families doing much together. Unfortunately there was such a difference in our ages George Lee and I never spent much time together but George was always picking at me every time we did get together. Although we never spent much time together I will always miss him. Prayers for his family.
