Mr. Hickson, George, was my teacher, and more importantly, my friend. From Mather Jr High to Darien High to today, George has always been there for me, even when I was having difficulties in his class. We saw the Red Sox at Fenway, he taught me to drive his VW Rabbit (standard of course, and diesel to boot!), and took time to just catch up with old friends. I remember his genuine sincerity, and his positive encouragement will always follow me. My wife and I will miss him, but will always remember him fondly. I am truly saddened at his passing, but I know he is always looking upon us. I hope his family knows how important he has been to many, especially me. Rest in Peace Sir.
