RIP George. You will be greatly missed. It will not be the same not seeing you at the Wall Reunion next year. Your absence will be felt like a silent teacher, teaching us to appreciate what we have and value what we miss. You were appreciated and valued more than even you may know. I am humbled to have had the honor of knowing you. Thank you for your service. Rest easy now. You've earned it. To George's family: My love and condolences for you all. George was such a a wonderful man. I can only imagine how his absence will be felt in your family. Remember to tell stories about him (and all your loved ones), for they never truly die until the last time their name is spoken on this earth. God Bless you all. He is looking down on you from Heaven.
