Sorry to hear about the passing of George. I was looking for his page to wish him a happy birthday. I was in George's class all though grade school. Math was my favorite class, and he was the only one who gave me competition. I'm sure he will be missed. Marilyn Krenek Robinson
When I began my career at LHS, I always appreciated George's "gentle and quiet spirit" even though he was gregarious and outgoing. He was gracious and understanding to my English Learners and to their teacher, as we both got our feet wet at the same time. I appreciated that he chose to live his faith and his encouragement, as well as the encouragement of others like Cindy McDonald and Bill Weber gave me the confidence to live mine as well. Grace and Peace to the entire family. Wendy Meister-Louria
I first met George after I retired in 2008 and moved to this area. I missed my family and friends that lived nearly 100 miles away, but I wanted to keep up my daily routine of running 4 or 5 miles a day. George would be out walking his dog Sandy. I would stop to talk. This got to be almost a daily ritual. I soon found out he had a lot of the same beliefs as I did. We mostly discussed current events. We also talked about religion, politics, sports, and books. I think we tried to solve the world problems. One morning he was out there with his winter coat over his pajamas. He just looked at me and said "Well, Sandy couldn't wait any longer." We both laughed. I don't think I ever heard him complain. Often I heard him say "maybe it is God"s will" or "charity begins at home". George's place was my halfway point and as I would turn around to head back home he always said "Say hi to Mike (my husband) for me". I will miss you and our conversations. Rest in peace my dear friend.
