"George loved MegaCon and was hopeful to attend this year," stated President of Fan Expo HQ, Aman Gupta. "He very much wanted to see his fans one more time. George was closely involved in building this show, contributing to our vibrant community. He was the guest of honor many times, and we will miss him deeply. We are honored to host his Memorial service at MegaCon Orlando this year to celebrate his extraordinary life."
