I got to know George and Lorraine during a very difficult time for them over the last few years at my previous employer. And although it was a challenge for them both, I was blessed to have those sweet and quiet moments with them to hear Lorraine play her music or to have George tell me stories of days gone by. They are a blessing to all those who know them. I offer my condolences to Lorraine and their children and extended family during this difficult time of transition.

I was very saddened to learn today of George's passing. I had the great pleasure of working with him at the GolfWorks and can still hear his cheerful greeting to everyone in sight .. 'top of the morning to you!" he would boom out. I send big hugs to you, Lorraine, and my thoughts are with the entire Family.

I was most blessed to have had the opportunity to play tennis and platform with a great group of friends. I think they would all agree with me that George was second to none. As my wife always said he was a true gentleman. He was a competitor but the best possible example of how you should be competitive. I thank God for allowing me to know George. He was not perfect. He didn't know how to keep score in tennis and had a poor excuse for a drop shot.
My condolence to his family.

Deepest sympathies to Lorraine and family on George's passing. Many memories of he and Lorraine both at their beautiful home, and of their donations to the DOWS Charity Auctions. George's beautiful wood creations will definitely be cherished for years to come.
