My memories of George go back to our teen years in the 1940's. A long history in the futures business. He taugt me so much of what I know and was a legend as our floor manager. George, you were a good man and so many of us hold very fond memories. Over 60 years to be precise. I dont know where we go next, but there should be a trading pit and hopefully more good times. Love and fondest regards to your family. Always you friend, Fred Uhlmann

God bless you George! I'll play the pipes for you tomorrow morning, but it will be in St. Pete FL., because that's where we are at the moment. EK

Goodbye Uncle George, I cannot begin to express my deep sorrow that you're no longer here. Your mom and dad and all your sisters and brother have been waiting for you to join the reunion up there. Thank you for the wonderful memories of you. My mother loved her baby brother so much.

Dear George,
You will be missed dearly. I will never forget the opportunities you gave me working at the BOT. You used to say we were like Dagwood and Blondie! I even got the chance to know Eddie since we worked there at the same time. I loved you like another Dad and am sad to see you leave, but glad my Dad will have your company up in Heaven.

I know you would love a funny story - remember when you offered me Cub tickets for the first time? It was early morning and I didn't get back to you right away. Finally you said are you going or not? I asked, what's the rush? The game doesn't start until tonight right? (this was before Wrigley had night games). You said to me, I'd like to meet the guy who is taking you to night games at Wrigley!
