George's friend Kyle performed at various venues in the area, at open mic nights and on a couple of occasions he brought George and Jeremy along with him. Many times, Kyle would ask George to join him to sing a few songs and it meant so much to him. Thank you Jeremy for taking these videos, they are treasured.

I can still remember when Gordon & Donna moved into our neighborhood along with their boys.  My boys, Sam & Ben, were thrilled to have boys around their age only 2 houses away.  The four of them would play for endless hours either at our house, The Avery's house, my parents house(which was in the middle) or outside endless amounts of time.  They could easily play with Legos, make a fort, or video games but what always stood out to me was George's unbelievable creativity.  Not only was he the most creative of the group, but he had such passion about what he was doing.  I cannot even count all of the times he would stop over the house to show me something he had built or drawn with such pride and explaining all of the details to me.  My boys still cherish their memories with The Avery Boys.  We were devastated when we learned of the loss of George and will remember him and his family always.

George's facebook quote reminds us all to always be ourselves...


'Of all things you can aspire to be, above all else, aspire to be yourself.'
