George was one of the nicest of our classmates. Easy to talk to and be around. So sorry that we didn’t have more communication with him . May his memory be a blessing.

George was a great classmate. He was the oldest member of our class, having joined the United States Air Force prior to attending Williston. George was a fellow Berkshireite and was generous with his time and talents. May he rest in peace.
