George T. Butler Tribute

Dr, George,

It was no secret that we all loved you at Columbia. And those who didnt, well were just jealous. I thought of you so often since we both left in 95 but never once did I think you passed away. How sad for me tonight to find out.

I guess I wanted to believe you'd live forever. For the record, even though you made me angry plenty, I had the time of my life. You were the most important figure in my life next to my own Dad.

You taught me how to ignore the unimportant and focus on the now. You really were the second strongest man I knew - and certainly the smartest and best dressed. Boy did we laugh at everyone!

I reall wished I could have said good bye to you, but we'll see eachother again. I'm sure of it...
