George was one of my best friends. Over the years, we spent many hours fishing, discussing old radio shows and life in general. We had a mutual love of broadcasting, and he really enjoyed working part-time as a news announcer at WNLC and WSUB. If anyone needed a favor, you could call George and he was always ready to help. I will miss you big time! Rest in peace my friend. Mary and I send our deepest condolences to Mary Jane, Mark, Chris and all of his family members. Our loss is Heaven's gain.

Mark and Christopher, so sorry to read of Georges passing. I worked with your dad for many years at Waterford P.D.. I don't think I can remember him ever being in a bad mood. He was always upbeat. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

I worked with George at Pfizer and had several chances to meet up with him to photograph him running the trains at Valley RR. I had the pleasure of a February steam run and an Eagle run with George. He took my daughter and I on her first steam train ride. My sincere sympathies to Mary-Jane and the rest of George's family and friends.
