What a cool guy. Always kind to me. Dad knew him since '63. RIP. Met you at his visitation. Hope you enjoyed our burnout in his honor leaving the funeral. - Matt

 

So sad to hear of George's passing - I bought a Willys chassis from him in 2009 and spoke with him several times. An absolute Gentleman and old school hot rodder. RIP George....

 

Matt, I just happened top be standing outside with my son and grandson when you left.
We all got a kick.
Thanks

 

He would have wanted it that way.....(although it was 2 small blocks) Ha ha...

 

I just got back from vacation and heard the unfortunate news.
I allways enjoyed talking wheels and cars with George.
We've done some wheel deals over the years.

Sincere condolences go out to his family.
RIP GEORGE
