Stephen Nidetz wrote a sympathy message

“Sorry to hear. Many fond memories. Classy co-worker on the Tribune sports desk, whether it was discussing high schools or his beloved Illini.”

Beth Kujawski wrote a sympathy message

“I'm so sorry to see the news of George's passing. He hired me, a very non-sports person, into the Sports department at the Trib many years ago. To this day, when I need to psych myself into doing something, I plant one foot and put up both fists in his "Get fired up!" stance. It gets me going and makes me smile. Sending love and comfort to all who know and love him.”
