Default Sad News

I am very sorry to hear the news of George's passing. He was a gentle and caring soul. He always had a kind word and funny stories to tell. He loved the hobby and it's members. Shows just wont be the same without him.
R.I.P. my friend.

Sad news for sure. Last year he sent me a set of Idaho decals for my 86. We talked at length about meeting at a show but never did get the opportunity. RIP and prayers for his family.

Default He will be greatly missed...

George was just a tremendously generous and supportive person for the hobby. I had the pleasure of knowing and seeing him at shows the past 3 years. For the past 2 years he would make a visit to Michigan and spend several days with his daughter and son-in-law, who live in state. He would drive one of his SSPs here and he and his son-in-law (also named Mike) would meet up with me at the Woodward Dream Cruise Ferndale, MI Emergency Vehicle Show. Both of them...just such genuinely nice people...I've sent them a card and hope others in the hobby have an opportunity to let his family know what he meant to us. I've attached a pic from this past August 17, 2012 with George sitting behind his Nebraska SSP.
