I am sorry to have learned about George’s passing. My condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren. I worked in the Copy Products Division ~1978 supporting George as an Admin Aid. I remember George as kind and gentle with a warm smile. He was a wonderful manager who was beloved by his staff. It is with certainty that the gates of heaven were opened for him. May he rest in peace.
