I’ll remember Mr. George in many positive ways with a big smile, he was such an intelligent man and was always great with a story. He made a big impact in my life teaching me many life lessons which I will continue to live by. I am honoured and grateful to have been a student of his and to have learned so much, always admired his work and aim to make him proud. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family in this difficult time, and may he rest in peace.
