I was very sad to hear of the passing of George he was such a fine person. In high school has consideration for all is always remembered. Your father was also a very very fine gentleman, who worked as a policeman and showed consideration for all people that he encountered, he was very good friends with my father Pete Rubi. I always remember him as a gentleman and his kindness and consideration for others. God bless you all, he's in Good Company with those that we know that have gone before him.

George was a true friend and classmate at Salpointe. I also went to St. Ambrose with the Walls family and they were all fun to be with. From 2003 to 2009, George and I worked for TUSD and met daily for breakfast or lunch along with Kathy. George's stories always kept us laughing. You are missed my friend but I know that you are still smiling and looking down on us.

Rest In peace, my friend. Condolences to your family and friends.
You were the kindest most gentle man I ever met.
I will never forget the night you came to my house to study with me. Mom´s height was 4´11" she almost fell backwards looking up to you. We all had a good chuckle, CHUCK.
Rest in peace, my friend rest in peace. You will be missed by all. Keep a watchful eye over your family and all your Southpoint friends class of `70.
Rest in peace, my friend.
