George was one of those individuals that one cannot forget. He was larger than life. We were business associates and George was never ambivalent. You always knew where he stood regarding an issue and it was a joy working with him and I will never forget the many occasions he entertained us with his singing, storytelling and general good humor. The world seems emptier without George and less joyful. He enriched everyone's life who knew him. What a blessing it is to have known him.
