r a frozen Hudson River, Ice Boating was a favorite pastime. He loved the speed, daredevil antics of the sport and gathering of fellow Ice Boaters; an excellent figure skater; shad fished on the Hudson River as a young man for 7+ years; November's he enjoyed large game hunting and duck hunted (his favorite) for 65+ years on the Esopus Meadows. He selflessly and without regards to any of his personal needs, always helped his many friends with any situation, big or small that they may have had. He always said, "That's what friend do for friends." Since becoming ill, it always gave George great pleasure and a brought a big smile to his face to receive a call or visit from his daughter and friends. The fact that friends took 5 or 30 minutes out of their busy schedules to think of him, say hi, and spend some time with him, even by phone, gave him great pleasure, or without asking, just pitched in and helped his family - this meant the world to him. He was always a loyal friend to all and hopes his friends will celebrate the opportunity and privilege to have known him. A very special thank you for all their thoughtfulness is extended to Al, Clark and Glen. They always gave a few minutes/hours of their thoughts or time to help George and his wife.
