George was always a wonderful person to talk to. I helped him with his insurance policies for Texas Sodium Bentonite as well as Burton Ranch and was always a pleasure getting thing done for him. He will be missed, but loved by so many.

I have such sweet memories of George as a little boy. He always had the courage to try anything-and he did. Whether it was playing with the sheep, fishing, or going to school, he embraced life with spirit and love. My heart goes out to his entire family. Much Love - Sandra Pippen
