George not only was a fine Officer but the best of friends. I recall giving him advice about Law Enforcement when he was contemplating police work. He felt strongly about persuing this career despite it's, sometimes, dangerous nature, which aided in his total dedication. You are truely missed.

George was known as a positive upbeat officer. He loved to sing and he always had a smile and a song for you. He is greatly missed.

George worked for me when I was the midnight commander, I had already left the shift when he was killed. George was one of the "good guys",well liked and respected by his peers.

He always wore a smile and liked his job. He was a good man and sometimes I think that that is most important of all.
