Kathy, Brett and I offer our condolences. He was a great boss for me and we accomplished a lot together.
Kathy - I was saddened to her about George's passing. George was always fair and kind to me. I enjoyed working with him when he was a member of the Airport Board. I respected his leadership, guidance, and expertise during many of the capital improvement projects that we worked on together. He will certainly be missed.
Kathy...I was so sorry to hear about George. I sure did enjoy working with him at Physical Plant all those years ago!
