George devoted his life to service to his community and successfully fought to eliminate the inequity and inequality of our nation's housing policies. His passing is a tremendous loss for Norfolk and the greater Hampton Roads community. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, many friends, and all those that live in a safer and better community thanks to George's decades of advocacy. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
