Condolences to the Family

November 20, 2018

My thoughts are with you on your unfortunate loss. You children can be proud of your father, he was a friend and mentor to all of us who worked closely with him at High Steel…we will all miss him.

Inhouse engineering is the first and most important function of any bridge fabricator. Maintaining schedules and creating accurate data and drawings for the shops is vital. Leading the company into the future of computer integrated manufacturing is a must. This was George’s job, and he did it with confidence. I offer my condolenses. I know he was a loving father and grandfather because he spoke of his family many times. I know he will be missed not only by family and friends, but the bridge industry as well.. Prayers are with you and George.
