I am sorry to learn of George’s passing away. I saw his picture in the obituary section of The Dispatch just now. I worked at Thomas Worthington High School for twelve years and remember George’s friendliness and kindnesses. I would usually see him when I first arrived at school, and he always brought a smile to my face. May your family find comfort and peace knowing what a good man he was and how he made our world a better place every day. My condolences to you all.
