Condolances also are offered from my family and others in the northern states who may not have had a chance to meet George but who immensely enjoyed his posts and his passion. His love for HSB has motivated me to obtain permission to stock them in my pond and I thank him for that pioneering spirit and love for HSB.
I'd would like to suggest that a place be made on the Pondboss forum front webpage for a "Hall of Fame" section. Certainly there are the great ones of PondBoss history who should be honored there, Dr. Willis, George, others who have left their mark and need to be honored and remembered.

It is with the heaviest heart and fondest memories that I must inform you all that George's battle is over. Saddened to hear this news. Condolences to Nicky and the family. There will never be another one quite like George on Pond Boss. Gosh...we're going to really miss him.

My condolences to Nikki and to Georges family. Now he can fish whenever and wherever he wants to without any concerns.
I'm sure that he will be looking over each and everyone's shoulder whenever they pick up a fly rod.

I only met George a couple of times for local PB lunching but I am truly blessed to have known him even for such a brief time. The spirit that he had in his senior years is amazing. He is fly fishing with the lord now....
The road goes on forever and the party nevers end...............................................

May he be steady of hand and sharp in vision, wind at his back and line in the air.
My most sincere condolences extended to George's family, as well as his many close friends.

George affect so many of us. He will be missed until we are reunited at the big pond.
My condolences to George's family and those on the forum who knew George well.
A special Thanks to Bryan for keeping all of us informed.
It's another day in paradise

George's celebration of life is being planned for Sunday at his Church in Plano. When I get confirmation, I'll post that as well.
There will be a eulogy (the sad part as George called it), Then we will have time to tell stories and everyone is welcome to share (the funny story part).

George's passion for raising fish and fly fishing was an inspiration for all who met him and many who never met him. A good man indeed. Thoughts and prayers to close friends and family.

I will be going back thru George's posts, as time permits, to gain as much wisdom as possible.....I will also be thinking about him looking over my shoulder in the future before I make a post....We will all miss the great pondmeister!

Just going through this thread has opened my eyes. I've fly fished for many years, but it's always been out west, and always for trout. If I can catch some fish here on a fly rod, well, it'll make it twice as fun. As said a few times above, I never communicated directly with George, but I can see the emotion in the comments from those lucky enough to have known him. My loss for sure. So I'll have to go back through his writings and get to know him. Thoughts and Prayers are going out for his family, and all who feel the loss. Jeff

George now won't have to limit himself to 200 fishing days annually - in a better place and can help nudge us all in the right direction simultaneously. Thoughts are with George's family - wish I could make the service - thank you Brian, Al, and Dave for being such great friends and keeping us in the loop.
