During my mission on the JCAT I got to know COL Ishikata as a leader, mentor, and friend. He paved the way in looking at life from a viewpoint that changed my life for the positive. He wrote a recommendation for my dissertation program and helped me pave the road to my current career. So many good memories and enjoyable times over the years that I’ve known him.
George will always be remembered by how much he gave to others.
