    “I was with George at Teacher Training College in Birmingham and, although I have not seen him since 1964, I am saddened to hear of his death but thrilled to read the many tributes from those who benefitted from having George as their teacher. His unique character certainly enriched our three years as students. Wonderful memories. His family must be rightly proud of him.”

    “Marilla,George,Matthew & families:

    Shearstown and Butlerville have truly lost a tremendous friend. Maude had the great pleasure of working at St Marks while George was teaching there.
    We attended many functions and parties together. One of his many gifts was to assemble an orchestra without instruments.
    Since his passing I have heard nothing but fond memories and the greatest respect for him.
    He had a kind and loving nature about him when dealing with children. May his music continue through the ages.
    May you his family cherish all your fond memories during this time of berevement.

    Maude and Roland Butler”
