George was well known and made lifelong friends wherever he went. He was happy to start conversations regardless of if he knew you or not. George always remembered the faces and details of the friendships he had made. 

Many times, when traveling, or visiting family away from home, he was recognized by friends and old classmates.

George was loved and will be missed by many. He was one of a kind and told it like it was. 

If you ever think of George, just remember that he was always glad you got to see him.
