Dear Joan, Annie, and all immediate and extended members of this wonderful family-
Isn't it just amazing to know that Jesus went to prepare a place for us, and that He will come back to take us to Him there? We are all in different stages of that journey Home. I don't have to quote Scripture to any of you, you've been fed solid food for so long, but I am always reassured that the "peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your (our) hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
And because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
May God continue to bless all of you at this time and in the days that follow, until you see George again.
Love,
Sheryl

The following message was sent to all IPI employees as we will all miss him,
It is with great sadness that I inform you that George Berkstresser passed away last Friday June 10. I have had the unbelievable opportunity to work with George for over four decades at Bell Labs and co-founding Integrated Photonics Inc. in 2000. I can say for a fact that IPI would not have been able to succeed without George’s comprehensive range of skills and intellect. George will be a great loss to all but having had the privilege to work with him was an amazing gift we shall not forget.

Today I will say good-bye to my Sweetheart George for the last time. He was a kind and wonderful
man--a loving and caring husband and father and a fun grandpa to our 5 grandchildren.I will miss
him so much but have comfort in knowing that I will see him again in Eternity.
I am so thankful to Our Lord for giving us a few weeks with George before He took him home.
Psalm 29:11
The Lord gives strength to His people and blesses them with peace.

Joan and Family,
We are grieving with you and extend our heartfelt wishes to you all. The loss is so sudden and unexpected that our minds are seeking answers to so many questions. We also miss him dearly. He was a pillar of knowledge and a unique master of so many skills, that we know that there are many we just won’t be able to replace.
When we started our journey together creating a new company called Integrated Photonics, it was comforting having George as part of a very talented team. We benefited so much from his depth and breadth of skills, ranging from modeling of a products cost and computer troubleshooting to building and maintaining the formidable CZ systems that have served us so well over our 16 years. We have relied on his flawless performance in producing substrate boules since the inception of the company. We all toast George for his many foundational contributions to Integrated Photonics’ current reputation and success.
Most importantly, George stood tall as one of the strongest Christians I know, and I know many. His faith was quiet, yet so confident, disciplined, and determined. He performed in a kind way serving others in a style that you all can be proud of. He was a good and faithful servant whom I know I will meet again in eternity.
