I will remember George with his contagious smile and one ear ring that carried the message of self confidence. Always time to visit and tell stories of days gone by and laugh out loud with crazy youthful adventures. We had so much in common, that it was never a story that would fail to bring on a similar story from each of us.
He always treated his customers with respect and gave them the best deal for their dollar. Some folks that I sent to him with car problems that would require spending lots of money at a dealer garage, would leave his shop pleasantly surprised at the savings he was able to give them. He treated others like he would want to be treated himself. I never dropped by to see him that he was too busy to say hello and take a short break.
He was a friend to me and I thought a lot of him and took him lunch on occasions. The first time I took him a pizza around Christmas time, he just looked at me and ask what that was for. I just told him it was lunch and you are suppose to eat it. We were friends almost from our first meeting and that was about 15 years ago. George, I will miss you.
