George was a true people person who made friends wherever he went. He loved his family and friends, and enjoyed talking to strangers, particularly children. He simply loved life and everyone around him. His kindness was matched only by his intelligence. With a PhD in chemistry, George became Director of Research at Mallinckrodt. In the mid 90’s, he was appointed Fellow of the Office of Science and Technology Policy under the Clinton Administration. Following his time at the White House, George joined the National Science Foundation as Director of Bioengineering where he continued to work up until his death.
