I am unsure if there is a scheduled gathering afterwards, but I am sure we can all get together and tell George stories over a beverage at a minimum. All are welcome.

I am going to try to break-away from work and be there. Afterwards I will have to get right back to my office, but I'd like a rain-check on a beverage toast to King George.

It was over the top of any other funeral I've been to even they only came for a short period to honor their fallen brother. Yeah, it was really neat and something I will never forget. Rest easy, George.

Its a little long, but I don't care. I have hours more video that did not make it into this video. And if you hoist a Shiner Bock with me, I might show you the out takes, but you better be ready to laugh and cry a lot. Here you go, George as he was; Enjoy Brian The one thing is the one thing A dry fly catches no fish Try not to be THAT 10%

That was a great video and thank you for letting us get to know George a little better, for those like myself who never had the opportunity to meet him! Thanks for taking the time and sharing!

I think I only met George 3 times, but each time he certainly left an impression on me. God Bless Him. Fishing has never been about the fish....
