I was lucky enough to have worked with/for George on a show called "Earth: Final Conflict." I remember when he took a "mental health" day and was working from home... he called me because he was convinced he had left his wallet at work and wanted me to go through his desk to find it. I did so very reluctantly because it felt like I was invading his privacy. Having checked everywhere, I called him back to tell him that alas I couldn't find the wallet anywhere. He replied not to worry, he had found it. When I asked where he had found it, he said "in my shoe." I couldn't stop laughing.
That's who George was to me... an absent-minded genius with quiet talent who never let on that he was smarter than the rest of us. Through the years, I would send him an occasional email letting him know what show I was on. The last time I heard from him was four months before he passed. I just now read his obituary.
George, you were an inspiration and a joy to work with. We never know how much time we have left with the people we care about. You shall be missed.

George and I met in elementary school back in 1956 and instantly became friends. We were both nine years old. We grew up in the same neighborhood, went to the same schools, lived together during college, and stayed close right up to his recent passing. That's a sixty-five plus year friendship and in all that time we never had a serious argument or a falling out. In addition to all of George's wonderful life accomplishments, he was above all an exceptional friend that I admired, respected, and honestly loved. Through the joys of childhood, the trials of adolescence, the challenges of adulthood, and on to the sobering reality of retirement, we shared it all. As a result, my life has been enriched immeasurably. So thank you my dear friend for everything. May you rest in deep peace.

I was privileged to call George "Uncle" for many years while he was married to my dear Aunt Norene. He was quiet and thoughtful and one of the smartest people I'd ever known. He will be missed. I think of him when I'm writing articles, hoping it lives up to his standards.

For 57 years George was the brother my biological family never provided for me.
From our first meeting in the control room of WUSF radio (89.7 on your FM dial; 50 flaccid watts of power in 1965) to the last text he received from me and was able to read only hours before he passed, our interactions ranged from the cerebral to the silly, the profound to the idiotic.
In 1967, in an effort to "invent" products of the future, we came up with the idea of diet beer, quickly dismissing the concept as simultaneously an oxymoron and non-starter.
That was around the time the original feminine deoderant spray appeared on the scene (uncreatively named F.D.S...well, no duh!) George then predicted the inevitability of masculine deoderant spray. Among the names we pitched for the product were the serious, clinical-sounding FALTEX, to the descriptive (not to mention marketable) COCKSURE.
Our senses of humor were not identical, but they overlapped and meshed organically, enabling us to write the funny for comedy giants like The Captain & Tennille.
Hey, we were young and it was a paycheck. Don't judge.
If I have a decent vocabulary today, it is because of George. At the age of 17 he routinely used words like sackbut, factotem and samovar, which sent me scrambling for a dictionary. On our very first pitch as a team to a TV producer, George used several of his big-brain words and I could see them flying over the guy's head like an etymologically based frisbee. Poor George had not yet learned that 89% of all television producers have no brains at all.
George made me laugh, and I always did my best work trying to do the same for him.
To that end, the last text he read from me was a picture of the world's largest cast iron skillet (18 foot diameter, more than 7 tons) on a tractor trailer heading for the Lodge Factory Museum less than an hour away from my tiny house.
My caption was: "You city folk can keep your fancy-pants Guggenheims and foreign-sounding ooo-feetsies. Here in Tennessee we got a museum exhibit that can fry a thousand eggs.
I hope it made him laugh, because for the life of me, I can't think of a better way to have said good-bye.

My deepest condolences to you, Faith and your family. I remember George from high school and looking exactly as he did in his school picture. He was “one of the good guys.” To me, he was serious, yet funny, warm and always welcoming. I am delighted that he lived such a robust and fulfilling life.
It is at times such as these when we reflect upon our lives and wonder why we didn’t attempt to go to a high school reunion from time to time on a regular basis. I attended only one with friends from the area and as HB Plant had such a large graduating class, I reconnected with only a few very good friends from those years but there were many others that I so enjoyed seeing once again. The ones who were special then were just as special 30 years later. The ones who were not so special hadn’t changed.
George was one of the special ones.
Again, my deepest condolences for your loss.

George taught me at FSU (2008) and I now write for a CBS sitcom. I would not be where I am today if he had not introduced me to TV writing.

George was a good friend. He always asked questions about your family, your well being and your job. And he listened to your answers. George also told great stories and was fun-loving.
We enjoyed having dinner with him, Lorraine, Bob and Linda. We all love good wine and meals.
George and Lorraine left us too soon. We will miss them.

George was a special brother-in-law to both of us. He was intelligent, thoughtful, and caring. We enjoyed sharing recipes with him, listening to blues on his playlist, and having wine and dinner with him. Our favorite dinner was stone crabs. George cracked the shells and was always successful at making a few perfect lollipops.
George was an excellent listener and was always willing to share his thoughts on a myraid of topics. He was a cat lover who always loved the antics of his cat Jimmy and the mellow nature of his cat Mylinda. We often took care of the cats when George and Lorraine would travel. George will be greatly missed. He was a wonderful person, legendary writer, and loving husband to Lorraine. We know George is at peace now with Lorraine.

We'll miss you, George. You were my hero my whole life, a wonderful older brother, and loving Uncle to our girls. Thank you for sharing with us your joy for life, your humor, and being someone who worked hard and loved what he did. Someone to truly admire.
All our love,
Faith, Steve, Evelyn, Lilly, and Connie

My deepest condolences to those who loved George. He was my screenwriting professor and I know that his wit, exacting standards, and encouragement helped me to break into TV writing far earlier than I thought would be possible. I'll always remember the pep talk he gave me the summer before I moved to Los Angeles, and the emails we exchanged where I'd update him on my progress. He truly cared and believed in his students. He was a wonderful professor and an unforgettable person. Sending love and light. - Diandra Pendleton-Thompson

Diandra,
Thought you might like to know that George bragged about you when you took his class at FSU, even giving me a half-hour script of yours to read on the sly, as he was so impressed with your nascent writing skills. In all the decades I was his friend (and sometime writing partner) it was the only time he did that. It was a minute ago, for sure, but I vaguely recall it being a Doctor Who script. I hope you did well in LA; showbiz can be effing brutal!
