I met George after I retired from IRS some fifteen years after he retired.
He used to join us for our monthly lunches at Louie's in Ballard.
Somewhere along that timeline, I started sending email reminders to the retirees for whom I had email addresses. The Tacoma retirees take attendance so I started doing it in 2002. George last joined us for lunch in March 2004. I often asked the other attendees whether they had seen him or knew how he was but to no avail. Well, now I know and I will send his obituary out to the hundreds of Washington State IRS retirees on my email list so they too will know. Ironically, the retiree who notified me of George's obit in the Seattle Times is also a former Jerseyite, small world. Bill Kummerle, Everett, WA
