I knew George from Shallow Junior High School in Brooklyn. We were in the same class for three years. George was a great person and someone that I always remembered for his intelligence, uniqueness, character and sense of humor. Afterwards, I would see him periodically on the subway and our quick talks were always a pleasure and extremely interesting. My deepest condolences to the Llanes family. It was a pleasure knowing you George for such a brief but special time, and it will always hurt me that I will never see him again.
