Even tho we were classmates - I never really got to know George until we were neighbors at Leavenworth.I learned very quickly that he was a great husband - a great father - a great officer and a great friend. After C&GSC - George went his Air Force way and I went my Army way - but we both ended up in RVN at the same time and were able to renew our friendship. He had not changed a bit! And then - much later - we had our last visit together in his home outside of Washington - DC. I always felt lucky to be able to call myself his friend and proud to know that through the years he stayed a great husband - a great father - a great officer and a great friend. I - along with many others - miss him. Jack Campbell July 25 - 2001 As a roomate - George - you were great - but - as a friend - you were the best. Yet - of all the memories over the years - my fondest memory with you was my first meeting with Mary. It was after the Cummins and Chura St. Louis weddings; and after a brief lay-over at Meis' stomping grounds in Peoria; when Quinn - Russell and I went with you to Minneapolis for a visit to your family. Hugh and I got to Mary's work place - the baby deparment in a department (?) store - and we pretended that I was the father of a new born - and we ran Mary ragged trying to help me pick out clothes. And - George - your family - they wer great...all of them but especially your Mom and sister...both of whom I was to see again at your retirement. G-d bless - George...perhaps we will be roomates again........... wynne July 25 - 2001 I was enormously proud of George when he was promoted to Lieutenant General. He was serving his second Air Force Acquisition tour in the Pentagon. He was unaware that a D2 Classmate also worked in the Pentagon every day as contractor; however - I quietly watched him and sat in the back of a Senate hearing room on Capitol Hill when George was called to defend the F-16 program. The F-16 was in trouble because the widow of a pilot proclaimed to the press that the plane was unsafe. The senators were performing for the press. George never became the least bit nervous or upset - responding to questions with so much poise that the senators began to retreat. I was very proud of him. Weeks later - I unexpectedly encountered him in a hallway of the Pentagon. He seemed very glad to see me; I felt honored when he brought me to his office and told his executive officer not to disturb us while we talked about West Point - D2 - and all the years since the days of our youth. The next time I was with George was at his funeral - which was too soon - too soon for such a good man. Dick Fontaine D2 - '55 January 13 - 2002 George and I go back to the West Point hockey team - where during Firstie year - he was the team captain and I was the cadet team manager. A fiery - relentless player - never has the term "captain" been applied to a greater leader. Our career paths continued through pilot training at Moore AB - TX and Greenville AFB MS. We flew and partied together. We then were assigned to Perrin AFB - TX for combat crew training in the F-86D interceptor. It was there that Buck Riggs and I roomed with George in a home rented in Denison TX. We flew and partied together. Our next assignment - also together - was at Selfridge AFB - MI from 1957-61.George and I and three other 94th Fighter Squadron mates rented the first floor of a 3-family home in Mt Clemens MI. The place was christened the "Club-58" by the townies. We flew and partied together. He met Mary - I met Carol ------ we married our respective lovely ladies ----- we were in each other's wedding party ---- we started having children ----- our paths crossed several times in our 30-plus year careers. A great officer - a fantastic family man and a "bon-vivant" that would make Ireland proud. One of my greatest regrets is that I was in Taiwan on the day of his funeral; only Carol was able to represent the Bouchard's. Of the many Air Force officers with whom I served - George was the finest. A natural leader who evoked respect; an exemplary husband and father who evoked love; a lover of life who evoked genuine pleasure; -----truly a credit to our Alma Mater. Those who love life and lived it fully teach us the most about death ----- to accept that it comes - to meet it with courage - and to believe that such spirit can never be stilled. Be thou at peace - old buddy - until we can fly and party again. Phil "Bouch" Bouchard. Phil Bouchard January 15 - 2004 George, We were set to have lunch in Houston in January. You called and told me you had to cancel - but you would be back in February and we would get together then. "To go over old times." I was really looking forward to it. A lot of water . . . In the meantime I got a call from your classmate at Saint Thomas who told me we wouldn't see you this side of the beatific vision. I was stunned. To a great leader - a great person - and a wonderful upper classman. May you always take the right fork in the road, May the wind always be at your back, May the winds fall gently on your fields - and May the Lord keep you in the palm of His hand. Be Thou at Peace. MJ '56 Matt Quinn January 25 - 2006 |
