“I remember his 60th birthday party, surrounded by his wonderful family and his glamorous sisters like so many birds of paradise. Newsreader Clive Myrie paid tribute to his colleague during a news bulletin: “George touched all of us here in the newsroom with his kindness and generosity, his warmth and good humour.
