George was a very kind, funny and caring person. I met him when I worked in the office at the York Fair and he was a director. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He quickly became a very special friend. I also had his wife as a teacher in high school. She was a very wonderful person also and great teacher. It was my honor to know both of them !
I will miss George very much !!

Seeing George’s smiling face brought back memories of our time at Grandview Park. He was the first neighbor I met, and he always had a kind word to share. Condolences to his family on the loss of such a gentle soul.
