I am so sadden to hear of your passing, but I am glad that you entered my mind last week. I had the pleasure of serving with you at SHAPE, in the Electronic Warfare Branch between 1978 and 1981. You left before I did. A truly great officer to work with. Specialist B.J. Miller
My deepest condolences to your family.
I Miss you my friend. Love Dave
Dear Pop, Thank you for coming into our lives to find Love again. We could not have asked for a better man for Mom to grow old with. We love you like our own. Our condolences to all the family and friends whose lives you have touched.
Hey George always fun playing golf with you. You never were that good LOL. Seriously rest in peace my friend.
RIP George, you were a good man. Your one and only daughter Melissa and your grandkids Andrew, Darren, Dimitrius, and Anthony and your husband Kent are deeply saddened by your loss. I’m sure you are rejoicing in heaven with your one and only wife Patti. Take care, God bless.
George & I so enoyed our P&M group’s lunches so we could talk about our Army experiences, his being far more interesting & dangerous than mine. Many of his stories were so darn funny he had us all laughing about the tribulations of service and missed he surely will be. You were a good soldier Colonel!
