George was a unique personality in life and in the industry he loved. He was my savior early on in my career and was always there to get me out of a jam. Our relationship was much more than business and I will truly miss him.

We have many fond memories of fun times with George many years ago when we all lived in Carbondale and went to Southern Illinois University. We were saddened to hear of your loss.

Dear Jean & Bob,



So sorry to hear about your loss. I met George only a couple of years ago. Since then I looked forward to every meeting and phone call. He was that kind of guy...truly one-of-a-kind and he will be missed.

My sincerest condolences on the passing of a great man.



George was a courageous man who taught us all many things: hard work, a great sense of humor, and a wonderful family man. There will never be another person like him.
