Excerpts from "In Memorian, George Kindler, 1948-2006" taken from: Livedesingonline.com, Jun 2, 2006
George was involved, in one way or another, in just about every high-tech entertainment innovation in Las Vegas (and beyond) over the last 20 years, including:
- Sound system engineering for Siegfried and Roy at the Mirage hotel
- Audio automation system design for the Volcano at the Mirage hotel
- Audio and show control for the Buccaneer Bay attraction at the Treasure Island hotel
- Show control for the Fremont Street Experience
- Show control for the legendary and little-seen George Lucas Superlive Adventure, arena show, which toured Japan- Show control for EFX at the MGM Grand hotel
I miss George terribly, but I don’t mourn him. George lived a life full of professional challenge, while maintaining strong and close ties to his loving wife of 26 years, Elizabeth Irene Kindler, and with a large and loving family: his father, Ralph Kindler; two sisters, Elaine Marie Kindler and Amy Elizabeth Kindler; a brother, Warren Wheelock Kindler and his wife, Nancy L. Kindler, and all of their extended families.
At his funeral in New Hampshire over the Memorial Day weekend, I discovered that George’s generous, honest, playful, and non-judgmental nature was appreciated and loved as much by his family as those in the professional world, who turned out in the hundreds for his earlier memorial service in Las Vegas.
George loved the outdoors, and each time LDI met in Las Vegas, he led an international group of show control and A/V experts on a hike into the Red Rock wilderness high above the Las Vegas strip. This coming October, our group will again be hiking Red Rock, but this year, we will have to find our own way. However, I feel confident we can find the right trail; after all, we had a great mentor.
