George taught me during his stay at St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia. In fact he selected me as beadle of his homeroom. Physics was not my favorite subject, but Mr Sirilla, with his charm and concern, made it interesting. His year at the Prep was a personal triumph: he and another physics teacher shared the title of our favorite teacher.

George inspired me 50 years ago as a student at St. Joe's Prep in Philadelphia. We voted him as our favorite teacher. As a teacher myself, I try to pass his inspiration on to my students,

So sorry to read of George's death. We met in 1952 when we joined the Patent Office and we were in the same introductory training class for examiners. We had only occasional contact over the past 60-odd years but I remember him fondly. Though I do not know you, his family, my thoughts are with you.

I am sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by the hope of seeing your dear loved one again in paradise.
