I would like the family to know that he was one of the best teachers I ever had. I took Biology and Advanced Biology. We enjoyed him so much that we even visited his classroom after school. He was only 7 years older than my class and his death makes me think about how short life can be.

George was a great neighbor and friend the last 16 years. Glad I got to see him before I moved away. RIP George!

Mr. Backhaus was my Homeroom and Biology teacher at Tamarac. I'm very sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To the family and his partner:
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Backaus was an excellent teacher. I was privileged to have him for a home room teacher and a biology teacher. May hope is the happy memories keep him alive in your hearts.
Thankful to have known him,
Kerry Warner

My deepest sympathy to George`s son and daughter and their families for the lost of their dad and grandfather. I worked with George at Brittonkill for many years.I enjoyed the many trips we made with the teachers to New York City organized by your dad ! He was a kind person and treated all with respect and sincere caring. He will be missed! I am praying for you that God will comfort you and give you peace! Sincerely Rita Colvin
