George was the best friend I could have ever asked for. We'd stay up all night just chilling, never concerned with tomorrow. He really made me feel like if one of us had a problem, both of us did. We worked together at Dk's, one time staying there til 3 am doing dishes only to come back and kill a bottle of Absolut on the porch and joke about how cool we were. Another summer night, we stayed up all night, went and got coffee and watched the sun rise on the docks by the Rock River and feeding the ducks various objects. He always knew how to make me laugh, and I could do the same for him. He wasn't just a guy in my fraternity, he was my brother in the truest sense of the word.

I called your place today during lunch and left you a voicemail asking about your schedule so I could arrange a visit when all of us are up there next month. I still have the text messages in my phone where you told me you're missing me and how we still have too much vodka to drink. I'm gonna miss you buddy...
