To George's Family:

I pray that you are comforted by precious memories. I worked with George at Midas and helped produce the safety materials that he used to improve the work environment. I was most impressed by his committment, professionalism, and pleasant demeanor. He was a genuine person, a high compliment in corporate America. My deepest sympathy, Vicki Williams

To Phyllis and the entire family:

My condolences to you all for the loss of your husband/father. George and I worked together in the same discipline; he with Midas and I with Pepsi-Cola, under IC Industries. We attended corporate meetings together downtown and commiserated on management's lack of concern for our loss control problems. I'm retired ten years now but my memories of George are still fresh in my mind.

God love you all; I'll pray for George and his wonderful family.

George was a graduate student of mine at Northern. I have known George for over twenty years. We were active together in ASSE and NSC and spent many hours together discussing health and safety. He will be greatly missed in both academia and industry.

George was a man of great integrity and his good humour was very contagious

At Midas he was like everybody's big brother so I feel like I have lost a family member.

Please accept my deepest sympathies,

You have suffered a great loss but George has left behind a huge legacy to remember him by.



Love you all,



Roger Clement.
