My sincere condolences to Stan and the family. George was most certainly a larger than life character. I will never forget first meeting him at his office in the Bessborough, smoking a cigarette at his desk well after the time such things were done in "polite society". He inspired this prairie boy in that meeting to go to eagle plains for the summer which was the nexus for my love of the North (and why I now call the Yukon home). Though I was probably one of hundreds of people he'd hired for one thing or another, George shaped the trajectory of my life in a huge way. I can only imagine the gap he has left in his family and my heart goes out to you all.
