It is with the heaviest heart and fondest memories that I must inform you all that George's battle is over. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family and his Lord. George will live on in our memories and his deeds. He made a lot of footprints on this earth, and his efforts helped make it a better place.
George grew up in East Texas, He lived through the great depression and WW2, He was part of the biggest increase in technology the geologic sciences. George was there for the first 3D mappings of subterranean structures. He was also there for the first successful horizontal drilling efforts.
At 55 George "retired" and pursued his passions. George was able to go fishing over 200 days a year. George was an avid poster here and he was partially responsible for Hybrid Stripped Bass in our ponds, and OTS CNBG. George was also partially responsible for the introduction of Fly Fishing as a great way to fish ponds of all sizes. George would help anyone who asked.
George's greatest gifts were his passion, his hearty handshake, His indomitable smile, His love for his family, His friendship to us all, and his never ending drive to make us better.
I will miss George's passion for knowledge, his drive, and advise. I am proud to know him and I will miss him.
