May 22, 1950 – November 11, 2022
Our dear brother, George, passed peacefully early this morning. He loved the fraternity and his fellow brothers.
Despite his chronic tardiness and many humorous quirks, we loved him dearly and have all lost an endearing, steadfast and faithful friend. RIP dear old friend – you will be sorely missed.

It has been over a week and I can think of George and my vision finally remains clear. The mind turns to the warm memories and this is a great place to post them so more of us smile as we remember our time with George. With our pledge class now halved, my memories go back to getting to know my brother as we met that day we accepted our bids at the old library. One night in Bomberger basement we must hhave disappointed pledgemaster Burkey because he really turned us ov)r to the kind ministrations of the assembled brothers. After Todd,Ken and I were finished being verbally abused it was George’s turn in the spotlight. Harry Dolbow took over ,and screamed incredibly varied observations and opinions George’s way. He was completely in George’s face as the kids today would say. I then,out the corner of my eye,saw a barely noticable smile come over George’s face. I then realized Harry had been shouting in George’s deaf ear!! I heard some choked laughter from the back (probably Henri) It was all I could do to not urinate with laughter. That was George..Mr Subtle..enjoying the little things RIP my brother Dave

My shock after hearing the heartbreaking news about George is just now tempering enough to recount my wonderful and dear memories of George. He was a very kind person and as many have said, totally non-judgmental and welcoming to new people he met especially young freshmen at Ursinus like me. He always greeted you at reunions with a solid handshake and a big hug, his classic smile, and asked you how you were. You felt cared for and missed by a longtime friend. He was also a buffer for many of us when fraternity discussions got a little heated or targeted, and was the one to bring reason back into the conversation. Between Roy and George, they tried to explain bridge to me, I was always too thick to get it, however Hearts they taught me and I still understand that and still not a good team player. I will dearly miss George and wish we had more time to say goodbye. Thank you Bob, Mary, Max, and Henri for visiting George and Dana yesterday. Henri’s daughter’s comments were touching and as Bruce said “spot on”.
I will miss him, RIP buddy. Dear George, may your new angel wings soar high with the Lord.
I’m still trying to get my heart off the floor.

George and his first wife and Diana and I would frequently engage in very spirited games of Trivial Pursuit. George was pretty good, but, was never able to best me. One game I will always remember. I was going for my last piece of “pie”. George drew a card with question he was absolutely positive would stump me: “What kind of apple is pictured on The Beatles’ Apple label?”. When I responded “a Granny Smith” the only response George could muster as he fell back into his chair was “urk”. The rest of us nearly pissed ourselves laughing.
