George and my husband, Harry, were good friends and my cousin, Schelley, and George were friends.  All 3 played baseball and basketball together.  My husband had an old Model A Ford painted red with a red and white polka dot interior.  George would drive while Harry and I sat in back seat with our arms around each other! 
George had a very irreverent sense of humor!  Loved him!

Michelle, I was deeply saddened to hear of George's passing. Even though he was two years behind me in school, I had known him since we were kids in Sunday School. We played basketball and baseball together from Little League through high school. We were even on Yankee Station at the same time, though I didn't know it at the time.  George was a great friend, and even though I haven't seen him for many years, I mourn his passing. Please accept my deepest condolences.

I knew and worked with George Fetty and got to know him, long before I actually met him, from many late night phone calls when we both worked night shifts for Southern Pacific. George was based in Los Angeles and I was in Phoenix in 1974-76 and we had an opportunity to speak many times as we coordinated operations between those two cities. George always had a wry sense of humor and could see the irony in many situations that others might have found frustrating. He was quite a character and will be missed. George Woodward 

I knew George well, at one time we both worked at the railroad's Monterey Park  building.  Before that I had a job handling labor appeals and when ever I got an appeal for a hearing George had conducted I had to have a dictionary handy due to his grand vocabulary.  He loved to use words that most people involved were not familiar with.  
I remember that one time he was being interviewed for a promotion he told the interviewers that he was looking for recognition which was spelled "money."  He got the job.  
George,  rest in peace.   
      

I remember George as a nice guy the few times we interacted.  The best memory was the framed letter over his desk that the railroad sent to him when they let him go. That told me a lot about this clever man.
