A true leader in public safety circles across the US.  It was my privilege to begin my own career in public safety under his tutelage.  A mentor in every sense--he will be sorely missed.

George was a gentleman, a visionary, and an icon in law enforcement circles. He will be missed by all of us who knew him. May God's blessings be upon him and the Ake Family.

I considered George a friend, mentor, and an imaginative force in law enforcement information sharing. With your passing there is now a huge void in this world.  Blessings to your family.

I was privledged to work with George when I was at NIJ and he always had a passion for helping his law enforcement colleagues across the country and world.  May his memory be a blessing.

To the Ake Family,  Dear Lord of all comfort, we know from the Holy scripture that Your Son, Jesus grieved after his good friend Lazarus died.  We now pray for those who are morning the loss of their dear friend and colleague, George Ake. We are confident that You are already and somehow reaching out to them with Your kindness and grace in Christ, the Lord of life.  Hold all who grieve, tight while they hurt, comforting them in anticipation a happy reunion with all those we love. AMEN  George made splendid contributions toward professional law enforcement training and development in NC, the USA and beyond.  We are all deeply grateful.for his government leadership in a North Carolina filled with joy, peace and grace.  His forward looking "serve & protect" contributions are admired and appreciated.

George, you were a true visionary who genuinely cared about those you served.  You left an incredible legacy behind as the creator of the Capital Wireless Information Net.  Many a police officer has gone home at the end of shift safely because of your vision.  We will miss you, but your impact will continue for a long time.

I just spent time with George in Orlando at IACP in October, and we worked together on many NIJ projects. I will miss his gentle and kind approach to all that he did. Our prayers are with the family.

Today your gentle demeanor and warm smile have brightened the gates of heaven. You will be greatly missed my friend!!!

Rest in Peace, my friend.  
You leave all of us with memories of your kind, gentle nature and the passionate leadership.  Words can't express how greatly you are missed.

Always a doer. He truly made a difference for so many. I am honored to have known him and he will be sorely missed.

On behalf of all Canadian law enforcement officers, I would like to pass on our sincere condolences to the Ake family and friends.

I have known George for many years and have always been extremely impressed by his dedication, professionalism, vision and leadership.  He was truly an Officer and a Gentleman.

Canada is especially appreciative of George's passion to improve officer safety by working tirelessly to enhance information sharing, including with Canadian officers.

He will be missed terribly.

Tripp, your life is a beautiful, living testimony to your father's influence.  His love for family, generosity toward others, and commitment to service lives on through you. I am sure God has already put him to work in Heaven. So be assured, you and your family now have a very strong, hard working, loving angel watching over you. 

May the stories of his life and the memories shared in days ahead comfort you like a warm blanket on a snowy afternoon.

May my sweet husband of 45 years rest in peace.

Retired  F/Sgt.  SHP, State Road,NC

I am so sorry to learn of George's passing.  I have known him for over 30 years.  He was a fine man and was fair to  all concerned. Condolences to Ann and his family.

Thank you George, for your friendship through all these years. Good times at work or relaxation until we meet again my friend.  A special prayer for comfort to the family.

A very moving obituary for George...and most appropriate for he was a good man. I always enjoyed working with him when we were both still on active duty as LEO's. May he rest in peace.

Prayers to you George.  Such a fine person.
