I'm certain there's people who'd have plenty to say about him both ways... I'll just say that before he was elected, I had a chance to meet him at our neighbor's house... his right arm was in a cast, so I shook his left hand, and from our discussion, I found that he was a very polite, gentle, and intelligent man. and in reading more about him later, it was clear that he faced very complicated challenges.  There is no doubt that his prior job experiences served as a guide for his later decisions, and although I may disagree with some, I realize that none were made without good reason, and I'm certain that if I knew what he knew, I would not have been able to do better.

Thank you, George... rest in peace.
