Mari
shit.
shit.
shit shit shit shit.
Though I hadn’t seen him for a number of
years, I thought of George pretty often.
We were classmates at Northeast together,
and when I came back from the
Army we were of course Artisans together.
What a delightful, brilliant asshole he
was! Back in the day when folksingers were
real rakes and ramblin’ men (“You just stay
here, little honey, and keep that thang
warm for me and I’ll look for you if I’m
ever back this way”) all turned out in
their flannel shirts and Levi jackets,
George added heavily to the style, his belt
fastened just past the second loop to avoid
scratching the back of his beloved J45.
Ever the unrepentant punster, his acid wit
was a highlight of every BA weekend.
Getting older always means you know more
and more dead people, but I will especially
miss knowing George is in it. It is a
sadder place for his absence. RIP, dude.

Thank you, Llyn, for keeping George alive for us here. And thank you for all you’ve done to preserve the memory and tradition of the Beaux.

There were many interesting lunchtime discussion with George on many subjects. The enduring quotation regarding the diminished chord–”The last refuge of a scoundrel.”

To George-
A good true friend, and a gentleman among men. You taught me how to ride, and that it was OK to improve poetry and music.

George was a funny guy, never at a loss for a quip or a comeback. The world is a little less colorful without him.

GEORGE WAS A VERY SPECIAL PERSON AND FRIEND TO EVERYONE AT DR. WALTONS” OFFICE (ONE OF HIS CLIENTS)WE ENJOYED TALKING WITH HIM AND PICKING HIS BRAIN ABOUT MANY SUBJECTS; INSTEAD OF LOOKING UP INFO. ON GOOGLE WE WOULD JUST ASK GEORGE, HE WOULD KNOW THE ANSWER. WE ALL THINK ABOUT HIM EVERY DAY AND JUST HOPE HE KNEW HOW MUCH WE CARED FOR HIM. HE IS AND WILL BE MISSED GREATLY.
