So sorry to hear about George. He always had a good story to share, or the patience to listen if somebody needed to talk. He was such a sweet man, and touched more hearts than he ever realized. What a blessing that one of them was mine.

George Carter was a mentor to many - I for one was an avid learner in his company, for fixing things was what he was all about. A wonderful man who worked hard to make Emory University what it is today. He will be missed.
