Dr. Panichas was a generous and thoughtful mentor who recommended me for a Fellowship for my graduate studies. His encouragement and support made a world of difference for me during a challenging time in my life. He will be long remembered as a friend, mentor, scholar, and editor.

George Panichas was a wonderful, kind and considerate person. I knew him as a totally plesant customer of our restaurant. His formidable intellectual ability was impressive, but his decency to all was much more impressive. My he rest in peace.

Dr. George Panichas was my friend and a fine role model for college students. He was a true scholar of the classics and applied this wisdom and grace to all who knew him. Not many people attain a doctorate degree, George had two. He encouraged and supported me while I was earning a doctorate in psychology. He will be missed by the guys at the Valley Athletic Club in Springfield, MA. as well. We were blessed to have known such a scholar and disciple of Christ
