My condolences to Shirley, whom I met many times, and to the rest of George's family.
During George's terms as chairman of the UWaterloo Department of Pure Mathematics before and after 1980, his leadership brought us at least four new young mathematicians, these people subsequently becoming a very strong backbone for that part of the university. His effectiveness in that regard has been very positive, and will last for a long time. I've been retired for 10 years, but stay connected, and often hear good memories about George when I am there at the university.
