George was a very likeable guy.  Wonder if any of you remember the business he opened up in North Alton?  It was called Michaels.  Great place to go and dance and see performers.  He always knew you no matter where you were or what you were doing.  Sorry he had to leave this world so soon but thanks for the memories.

George was a good friend and a very enjoyable person to be with.  Our Sr. year George, Dave, Patti, mysister- Nancy, and I had many great times together.  A few years later he was gone  much too soon.  Rest in Peace my friend....Jeanie

George and I were very good friends and I was so sad to hear of his death.  He had a wonderful personality and was so caring.  He was also a VERY good dancer so I am not surprised that he had a business that involved dancing. Jeanie, Dave, George and I had some great times together.  George and I went to the Sr. prom as friends and had a great time.  We went to St. Louis for dinner and I ordered Lobster.  I'll never forget the look on George's face when I told him I couldn't eat anything that was looking at me.

Rest well George
