My heart goes out to Nancy, Allyson & James, Brandon and the rest of George’s family and close friends. I worked with George at the Perry Plant, including the years he supported the Operators in the Control Room. We stayed in touch after he moved on to other opportunities and then retirement. I am blessed to have known him and appreciated his spirit. I had been praying for George while he was ill and will pray for his family as you grieve your loss and celebrate his life.
