You will be missed! I appreciated every thing you did for me during your time at Cryptozic. I always considered you a friend in the trading card community and it won’t be the same knowing you are not on the other end of those emails and messages. RIP, my friend.

George was my best friend during my time at Cryptozoic. We ate lunch, dinner and sometimes breakfast together. We took breaks to clear our heads walking around the business park by the office. When we needed more of stress reliever we played racket ball. Sometimes George was kind enough to let me win.
George was smart, kind, thoughtful, insightful and the hardest worker I’ve ever met. He made such an impact on me in our short time together that I’ve named a character in my book after him, who is all of those things that George was to me.
It breaks my heart to hear the news of his passing and for me not to be there saying this in person to his family. George was an inspiration to me on several levels of life. I am sure that if you met George you will agree and feel the same way.
I will miss you George, and never forget your friendship.
RIP.

I was very fortunate to meet George a few times at the Philly non sport card show and correspond with him on card matters. A really lovely, caring man who will be greatly missed. My condolences to all of his family. RIP George
