George was an incredible leader and mentor. I will be forever grateful for the lessons he taught me as he empowered me to make decisions and stand by them confidently as an uncertain young adult. A decade later the impact he had on my life is still directly evident in many ways. I will miss his hugs, his smile, his warmth, and his friendship. And I’ll never forget how much he hated our hike, but was smiling through the whole thing even as he cursed us. I love you George. Thank you for everything.
