So sorry to here about your loss. George Nick, Doug and I spent many high school wresting meets and practices together and drives in Nicks GTO. Great memories of long discussions about everything. I remember George as being serious but had a great subtle smile. Peace to your family.

Offering my deepest condolences during this difficult time.

George's smile will always be remembered. He pushed me to great heights from the time I met him at CPS in 2000.

No matter what agency I went to George was there. No matter where I saw him, he was never too busy to share a story or advice.

I knew I could count on George to be there and make it happen. In 15 years he only said No once, but it wasn't a firm No. It was call Nick. He knew after being with Nick for 50 years, that the answer would be Yes. :)

I will always be thankful for George teaching me how to negotiate and how to ask the important questions.

Although he will dearly be missed, It is with great pleasure that I can say George's spirit will live on forever in the many lives that he touched and we will see each other again.

May God be with you all and give you the strength to take that next step.
