I was fortunate to have George as a friend and teammate on the John Jay College Hockey Team, as a fellow classmate in the NYPD Police Academy Class of '79, and while continuing to play hockey with him while on the job. We had a lot of fun and laughs. There is a brick in George's memory on the John Jay Walkway that was donated by his hockey teammates. He has not been, and never will be forgotten.

Went to Mount Saint Michael with a George. We played ice hockey together on the school team.

I remember the last time I saw him was in December of 1978 at the old Rising Sun nightclub on Yonkers Avenue.

I went west and joined the LAPD after the Air Force. Now working as a deputy district attorney in Colorado.

Always remember the great days of high school with George.

I was thinking of George this evening as a do time and time again. I attended the police academy with George in 1979. George was one of the funniest guys I knew. We were the "class clowns" sort of speak. Great cop...always will remember that laugh....rest in peace brother....till we meet again....Lou

George was so young when he was shot .
I remember that day too well.
George was a true hero who gave his life , while off duty, for being what he truly believed in. Just being a “great cop”.

George was truly a member of our family! One of my little brothers-like having 4 brothers wasn’t enough! More than anything he wanted to follow in his grandfather’s steps and join the NYPD. And he did. He was my younger siblings best friend. One of the BEST human beings who walked this earth. Like so many like him, he died too young. We have and will always miss him! He left a big hole in our lives! RIP George!

I remember George as a friend on Perry Avenue in the Bronx. He was three years older than me and always wanted to enter law enforcement. Who would know that I would enter the NYPD a few years later than him and work at the Bronx Task Force located in the 47 pct. The plaque use to remind me of the danger we chose to accept. George was a great guy and friend and I couldn't believe the day of his passing. But, that was George. He was a police officer 24 X7.

Rest in Peace Brother. We are all proud of you.
