George was fun loving, energetic, and creative.

He was a meditation and Buddhism teacher and major benefactor who raised awareness to the plight of the Tibetan people. He had a quick wit and a contagious smile that could light up any room. Everybody loves George! George’s pride was his family, and he built a life for and around them.
