I just learned of George's passing from another Class of '76 graduate David Slauenwhite. George and I were close neighborhood friends from Bowers School all the way through WSC, sharing a love of coin collecting, pro wrestling and the Three Stooges. I lost touch after college, so I was glad there was a video tribute. I'm so glad that he died in the faith but so sad that he died so young. My deepest condolensces to Debbie, David and his family & close friends.

Beautiful video tribute of George's life... I knew George through my Brother Rick--also a coin and paper money/note aficionado. George was a great guy, contagious sense of humor, his smile and easy-going manner is what I will always remember about him! From the relatively few conversations I had with him, I could tell he was a very deep person who sensed the spiritual side of life, and eternity. It is sad to lose such a person from this world, and yet his earthly suffering has ended and he rests in the presence of Christ now, with a new immortal body. My deepest condolences to all of George's family. Rest in peace, "Conan"! (My Brother's affectionate nickname for George)
