Shocked to learn of this. I'd known George from my first industry job at ST Micro, and we kept in touch for several years. Great humor and sound advice. May his memory live long.

George was a nice guy and a very intelligent man. I'll always remember getting feedback from him on various things in the office (whether I wanted it or not, lol) and replies to my emails to our site with George's humor. Lastly, thanks for the words of encouragement about my health. RIP George
