George L. Daudelin was an average student at Bloomfield High School, honest, compassionate and would do anything for his family and friends.  One of his best qualities was that he would make you feel special, whether you knew him or not.  He would greet you a hug and a kiss or a smile and handshake that was genuine and sincere.  George also loved to play the drums any time or any place.  Unfortunately, George passed away at the age of 31 in 2005, and always said to “never give up your dreams.”  This is what this scholarship is all about; the love of life, family, friends and most of all music.
