Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Happy Brithday George

I miss you cranky old member. I doubt we'll ever have another like you.

I do miss him on and off the forum. We emailed every day, I talked to him every few days, and went to see him and his wife Niki almost every week. When his health was still able, I'd take him up to a Cabela's that was only 20 minutes from his home. He absolutely, positively, would not let me buy anything because it was too expensive. When he got tired, I'd take him back home and I'd go right back to Cabela's to buy what I wanted. He was ornery treasure to say the least.

George was a character, very smart, educational, and would speak his mind. Highflyer brought George over to our place once and I had already left for the day headed back to Dallas. I'll always regret I missed that visit. Glad Brian snapped this pic. I think the last time I saw George was at the Overton's Open House.Towards the end of the event that day he told me he probably didn't have much time left. Happy Birthday in Heaven.

Theo, thank you and Scott for adding more. I would do the same, but sometimes i quietly sat 2-3 hour sits with him telling me things that hadn't been shared with his huge worldwide life, and it'll stay the way he wanted.

Bottom line, after all the cancer and pain, he fought to the end. He was a trooper for sure. It was me, DD1, George, and HighFlyer.


I think this is his last picture. It was happy faces that I just couldn't pull up.

He was a treasure.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, george!!

Ditto FIH!!

You know george and Overton are up there ladder stocking Hybrid Striped Bass....

Excellent point Sunil!

If there is good fishing in heaven for people that like to fish, then God surely farmed out the pond management duties to people like george and Overton.

Many good times to recall ! Honored to call George my friend.
