George was a true lifelong learner and an equally dedicated and passionate teacher. Without question , he was so much more than just an academic teacher. George would definitely receive straight A's for all of the invaluable life lessons and skills that he passed on to countless family members, students , peers and friends which went far beyond mere book knowledge . Survived by his wife of 58 years Katy, sons Garret, Geoffrey (Jennifer) , Gregory, Gifford (Lynne) , Gerard, Galen (Christy), Gordon (Terri), daughter Kimberly Hu (Russell), 18 grandchildren, and sisters Hannah Lee and Eva Shon. He had a zest and love for golf , fishing, diving and traveling .
