I always thought George was an honest, straight forward person. I remember living in Baltimore with him at the community center. I am sad he is gone, even though I haven't seen him much these last years, I miss him. I am coming to St. Paul in October, 2024 and wish to say a prayer for him.

The candle here reminds me of George and his light in our world. We'll miss him; he was one of a kind and a wonderful person. May you feel the presence of the Lord surrounding you with his love.

I am so sorry to learn of George's passing. He was a gentle and loving presence in Central. I cannot imagine how you, his family, will miss him. Sending you love.
