Tributes
"11 great years working with a gentleman, highliner, mentor and in some ways a dad. I could not have had a better friend, and, as luck would have it, it was in the fishing business we both love. I will never forget you and I wish your family all my best regards for now, when it is hardest, and in the future when your memory stays strong. David O'Neill."
"George was the consummate fisherman to the end, making his 'last delivery' of tuna fish to the employees here at Seamar. He has forgotten more than I'll ever hope to know about salmon fishing. He and my father Ray Haldane Sr. were close friends and fellow fisheremen, along with George's brother Gil. He was very highly respected throughout the fishing community, in Alaska and in Washington State, and in other ports of call. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Having completed his season, he is now safely in port, and we all thank him for his knowledge and his support. On behalf of the Haldane family, I remain Sincerely yours, Dennis Haldane"

"George was one of the good people ive had the pleasure of knowing. i always felt good when he called me "pal". that was really neat. George was a good friend and a wonderful man."
"George, Always a smile. I'll miss you."
"To the Hamilton's I just wanted to let you know that your loss will be felt by all that knew George. He was a good friend. He always made time to talk and have a cup of coffee and maybe one too many doughnuts on Saturdays. That was my favorite time spent with George-- talking with him and all the guys that would show up on the weekends at the store. The stories and the good times, the coffee and doughnuts were just a plus--it was George and the friends he visted that made it a great place and I feel so lucky to have been welcome. Sincerely, Don Newman Jr."
