  In Memoriam

As most of you know, Dr. George passed away on June 21, 2015 and, while we are happy he is at peace, the world has lost one of its great servants. He saved so many lives as an interventionist and helped so many Friends of Bill stay on their path to health realization. Awarded the Gratitude Award for Lifetime Achievement in mental health and substance abuse treatment in the community by Sierra Tucson Treatment Center, and as founder of the Alpha Treatment Program at Glendale Memorial Hospital, Dr. Patterson has been recognized for his contributions in the areas of intervention and dependency counseling by the President of the United States, Governor of California, Senators Feinstein and Boxer, Congressman Adam Schiff, the County of Los Angeles, and the Mayor of the City of Glendale, California. Anyone who encountered "Dr. George" was truly blessed. He was definitely our Creator's gift to us all. An avid catch and release fly fisherman, fish all around the world will breath a sigh of relief this day. 'Bye for now, my dear George, we know you will have all the folks in Heaven in stitches with your jokes.  
 
The Memorial Service for Friends, Fishermen is now scheduled for August 8, 2015 at 1PM at First Christian Church of North Hollywood, 4390 Colfax Ave, Studio City, CA 91604 (818) 763-8218. Parking is a problem due to the weekend, so come early for a seat!
 
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to George's favorite charity: Reel Recovery. The charity is set-up to provide a weekend retreat free of cost to men with cancer funded solely by donations. George has been a therapy facilitator for 10 years with this 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (tax id# 91-2193394). Provided below is a link set-up specifically for donations made in George's honor:
