George was one of my best friends. We were great fishing buddies and loved to get up early on Saturdays to go trout or bass fishing. We often double dated and always had a great time. We talked about moving to Florida, buying a bait and tackle shop and getting our “captains licenses”- I backed out but he did it! We got together before, during and after each reunion. Last April, Cherie and Duke spent a long weekend with Eileen and I , we caught many trout on the 50th anniversary of us fishing the White Clay creek together again. We were planning on coming to the beach to visit them after Duke recovered from his surgery. I haven’t been the same since I heard d this terrible news. Rest In Peace my dear friend. Dave Dickens, Class of 69

Additional comments from Duke's St. James classmates: Ducky Doyle: "I was very sad to hear about George. I spoke with him about a month ago and he seemed to be in a good place with his recovery regiment. George and I were good friends and neighbors during HS. Many a day we walked to 21st and Potter together. My condolences to his family and friends,. As someone mentioned earlier, he is done with cancer now and in a better place. Rest in Peace my friend! " Dennis Sutsko: thinking about George, I can almost picture him back from our days at St. James, tall and lanky, friendly and sense of humor....no sure if we had any classes together, except maybe gym.... His fight is over, he's in a better place I'm sure, he rest in peace and God Bless his family John Ryan: Good guy. Knew him well. God Bless You George. Vince Cirilli: I'm sorry to learn of George's passing. Jack Cassidy: He was a really nice friendly guy, full of personality. I enjoyed catching up with him at our reunions over the years. I was disappointed that he didn’t attend our last reunion. RIP George! John "Bake" Baker: I definitely remember him as a cool-headed guy. I pray for his close friends and family. R.I.P Bulldog! Paul Greeley: Freshmen Latin class, last period with Mr. Bell. I’m erasing the board and George Culbert’s sitting right in front. He says ‘blow me some smoke’, so I start blowing the chalk dust from the eraser at him. I got a big cloud going and don’t see Mr. Bell walk right into the dust. He turns, sees me and hits my head into the chalkboard. John Shallet: shame to hear of George’s passing, good guy knew him since the 1st grade. Mike McKinney: George was such a nice guy, I can't stop smiling thinking about the ordinary things we would do together that still stick in my brain. Jim Iannucci: I didnt hang with George but as a fellow Bulldog my sympathy and prayers go out to his family. Bob Hines: I remember George as just a calm happy person. He was always pleasant and never spoke ill of anyone. RIP GRORGE.

I last saw George at our 30th reunion, now some 21 years ago. We became friends at the age of 10 when we played on the same Little League team, Workmen's, in Chester Suburban. We were very close through high school and college and then did not see each other very often as we began our careers and moved out of Delaware County. He came from a wonderful family in Parkside and married into a wonderful family from Brookhaven. Kathy and I attended Our Lady of Charity together. My sincere sympathy to his extended family. He will be missed by many, and certainly by his St. James buddies. A mass will be said for the repose of his soul at my parish church. May he and all other souls, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Sincerely, Bob Rock
