In the short time that I spent with Mr. George as my patient, he has left a lasting impression on my heart.  I looked forward to his smiling face each and every day that I saw him.   He was truly a positive and inspirational person even when his illness was getting the better of him....he renewed my faith in the human spirit! He will not be forgotten...

What a loss! Bob was around at the beginning of my career some 25 years ago. I was posted to Boca Raton to help with the downtown redevelopment and establish a new office there. I can remember vividly his love of new computer toys, which echoed my own. I was immensely jealous when he got the first "portable" PC -- a Compaq computer about the size of a sewing machine! It had a tiny orange screen mounted in one end, and the keyboard clipped on over it. Bob was always a patient mentor. I appreciated his life philosophy - he outlasted many of his healthier contemporaries through sheer determination and grit. I am deeply saddened that I will never discuss planning philosophy with him again, but I will always think of him fondly when I think of my time in Boca.

With my hand in his, Bob told me that it was preferable to be in the hospital for a while as compared to just passing away at home in the night.  His logic?--in the hospital he was surrounded by love and kindness being expressed by so many loved ones and caretakers, which he otherwise would not have been able to experience. This was a typical statement for him, for he was defined by generosity and love, kindness and wisdom. Bob hired me for my first professional job, patiently guiding me and offering loyal, enduring friendship. I was one lucky gal, having him for my first boss.

Sorry to hear about Bob's passing. He was a friend in High School and I and many of his other friends spent many hours together. I'll always remember the night we sat in his parents kitchen listening on the radio to the Sonny Liston and Cassius Clay heavyweight fight and cheering after Clay beat Liston. He stepped up in his life to accomplish many things. Bob had a frail body but he had a strong heart and will to do great things. It was a great pleasure to be one of his high school friends.

Everyone who knew Bob was impressed with his strength and good humor.  I was privileged to know him as a friend and colleague in the planning profession. He was a smart, hardworking, responsive professional and also a gentle and considerate friend. I will miss him very much.

Please accept my sincere and heartfelt condolences at this most difficult of time. I was deeply saddened to learn of Bob's death and I would like to express to you my sincere sadness and sympathies to you and your family at this difficult time.  I met Bob working in the Financial Services Department, here with the City of Boca Raton. I valued many attributes of Bob including his sharp happy personality, his passion in everything he did and his intellect.  His passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of everyone who knew him.  Bob's memory will always remain deep within my heart.

Bob passed my door every morning on the way to his office and always had a cheerful good morning.  
Bob was full of information and was willing to share it. I remember talking to Bob about buying a Kindle.  Bob was kind, thoughtful and generous.  He loaned me his Kindle to see if I liked it.  Bob would periodically give me updates on the newest bells and whistles and asked me “have you made up your mind yet”? 

If you needed information on a project, Bob either had the answer or would research and find the answer for you. 

I am blessed to know such a loving person.  Bob will be missed.

I knew Bob professionally over a 20 year span. He was a gentle man and a gentleman, highly competent, forthright, professional and without hidden agendas.   

We and the City have lost a fine, dedicated individual.  I hope the legacy of his professionalism will serve as a lasting example for those that follow him.

We only knew Bob a very short time. He was always a dear, sweet caring man. We know he will be greatly missed.

Bob was my friend for more than 55 years. He accomplished so much and made many friends while battling a terrible disease. I admired his amazing intellect, his unending courage, his love of family and his kindness to all. I will miss him a lot.

I remember Bob mainly from St. Mary's grade school and from the neighborhood.  He was always a really nice guy.  He certainly accomplished a lot in his life.  Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

I am saddened by the loss of this kind and gentle man.  Bob was my dear friend for many years and I will miss him.  Deepest condolences to his family and his many other friends.

Sincerely.
