George was on New York Fire Patrol prior to joining the FDNY Communications & he served in Brooklyn during the 'war years'. He is one of the last true dispatchers, handling the city's Fires & emergencies with out the use of computers & GPS. He knows the city like the back of his hand & right behind that is the firehouse locations & every company's response patterns. His dispatching to this day reflects just that.

RIP.... prayers for family & friends
 
Warren & George were Hall of Famers. When Warren was retiring, we, TL-120 took a ride to the Brooklyn Dispatch Office, along with the 44 Battalion. We presented Warren with a fire alarm bell, that was in each quarters and would bang out the box numbers. I told him it was from one 120, to another 120. Wonderful moment and it wasn’t even my retirement. I am just glad to be part of the Job, when the Job was the Job!!
