Sadly, I met George during his initial JGH-hospitalization which, initiated His Ordeal to the Conclusion of His Remarkable Life’s-Journey.

However, despite His unfolding-Ordeal, George & I deeply Enjoyed Our shared conversations while on CD7, conversations that were reciprocally contributed to from rather different vantage perspectives.

Although having met George late in Our individual odyssey’s, I’m rather Sure we Both cherished Our Shared conversational Moments.

Dear Kathy and family,

Few men have walked this earth with such grace. George's humor, simplicity, helpfulness, honesty, and his consideration for others were hallmarks of a wonderful depth of character. Sylvie and I offer our deepest sympathies on this sad and unfortunate day. If we can do anything to help.... Sylvie and David Forest
