Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Pond Boss George's battle

Ole George! He went out with his boots on didn't he.... I know so many people his age done gave up on life long before George did. Heck he was posting back in July having a good time!!

Way to finish strong as you could George! Oh father time shows no mercy on anyone but that doesn't mean you cant give him heck till the very end buddy!! Way to go man way to go.....

George this is for you buddy!


Ole George,

He was boy he was a man,
He saw and did things like no others can,
He worked hard he played harder
He was a family man,
He was a man of war he was a man of peace,
Not a hard heart not even in the least,
He was a man of many talents,
He was a man of the fly and rod in hand
He could sling it like no one can,
He was a man of kindness a man of class,
If you needed help he would not pass,
He would stop and help you cause that's what men do,
It's not hard when your a man through and through,
He loved his wife with all his heart,
No one was tearing them apart,
He was a man that loved to fish,
He was a man with just one last wish,
That no one grieve or be sad for him,
When his light faded and started to go dim,
Ole George he was a man and man in deed,
Now he is a man that has been set free.

Love ya mean it George,
RC

That's very nice RC51...a fitting tribute.

This scene reminds me of George:

I haven't opened this thread for over a week fearing this news was on its way. Even though I've never met George, I could tell the content of his character by his interactions on this board. I knew it would tear me apart to eventually read the news and it has. I hope I can have one tenth the impact on people that George has had. God Bless you George.

That was good and very appropriate.....!!!

It has been asked if the family would like flowers, cards or donations to any of the cancers organizations and they said that would be great!!

I'll post a few good florists names and numbers as soon as I can.

George had Colon, bladder, and pancreatic cancers, He beat the first two, but any group that you feel called to support would be great.

Good story about George and his bride from 2011

So sorry for your loss, Mrs. Glazener. Prayers for you and your family.

We are just getting back from George's Celibartion of life. It was good to see everyone there. The family would like to thank Eric, Scott, Allen, Mark, Todd, Dave, Bob and anyone I might have missed for attending or sending flowers and kind words.

Steve read George's last note to the boys. It told of just how proud he was of all of them and that his family was always his first love. George reminded them to think about the great memories and fun times. George's closing words were that he had been blessed with such a great life and outstanding journey. Now the really awesome journey is starting for George.

The celebration was attended by his lovely bride, two of George's three sisters, all of his sons and their families, friends from all across the country and a bunch more Texans. Great stories were told, a vote was taken, and we all agree George was one hell of a man, and he will be missed.

NO sympathies, No regrets, George had a hell of a life!!

George will be interned in the Dallas-Fort Worth National cemetery later this year. The date has not been finalized, but when it is, I'll let everyone know.

Here are some of the flowers from the service.

I thought of George today, and fly fished the pond.

I did the exact same thing.

We should all hope we can live life as well as George !!!!!! No regrets !

This has been a great thread in George's honor.

For me, if I should die tomorrow (which I hope I won't), I have no regrets. I too have had a very rich, fun, and fulfilling life. My kids and grandkids have done very well, which is extremely fulfilling.

We can all hope to have George's outlook to our last days. We all need to think like George, and hopefully be as forthcoming in our last days.

Life has been fun, and hopefully I have some (lots of) time left. There are still a lot of fish that have never been caught.

RIP George

Hello all, I just got back from traveling and working since mid August and went to Todd Overton's for some special fish. You could have floored me when he told me that George Glazener had died. I knew he had cancer in the past but had not been on the PBF for several weeks so did not know of the recent case. He was a great man and all of you have said it so many great ways that I will not add to it. Mrs. Glazener, I hope your grief will grow smaller as your memories take over. May God Bless you and your family.

Tom, I still miss him every day. It seemed like George, DD1, John Monroe, and myself were always among the first guys logged in to the PB Forum every morning. I still forget and check to see if George's logged in yet.

Better gitcher butt outside Al. It's turning daylight.

Yep, you're right. I am wasting daylight right now.

Celebrate him every day !

George will be laid to rest on the 2nd of November In the Dallas-Fort Worth National cemetery with Military honors. All are welcome.


On a side note,
Allen and I got to go fishing with Jeff, George's youngest son, out at our farm. We had a great time. We laughed, told stories about George and caught a lot of nice fish.

Here is Jeff's biggest of the day.



We were targeting the smaller bass for removal, but Jeff caught that one as well!!

Thank you for initiating this post. Good ta see Jeff smiling and holding a nice fish. George is proud.

Thanks Brian. I will try to make this event.
Do you know what time of day George's ceremony will be?

Seems appropriate for George's final resting place:




Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery

Here I sit thinking about George. I can still hear George's voice in my head, and there are so many great memories. But dang it still hurts to have lost our old friend.

I'm so sad not to see any of George's posts again.

Along with some others here, and myself, he was one of the original posters on pond boss. Our number of posts listed is actually higher as there was a problem with the site early on, and some of us had to reregister.

Mark,
George's internment will be at 1PM. I agree, it is a fitting place for George.

Todd,
I hear him all the time as well. Telling me to get busy working on the ponds. It is starting to make me smile and laugh now. The memories are great!!

Cecil,
George has one more post coming after his internment. It is a portion of the video we made weeks before he passed. It was meant to allow him to pass on his wisdom one last time. It was fun to do, but knowing why sucked.

Brian,

I hope I have a friend like you someday
