I have known George for over 35 years. He was my trainer and mentor at Boring Business Equipment and I worked with him at the School Board as well. Everyone that knew George liked him and for that reason he will never be forgotten. George, find me a tall pine tree on the edge of a nice clear-cut and we will meet up to hunt together in heaven. RIP George
