Happy Birthday Buddy. Miss ya.

Pic is at his place in 2014. He and Mrs Glazener were fishing for CNBG, and George was fishing with one of his favorite rods, a 6-8 TFO Mini-Mag.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, George!!!

HBD, my friend (and bonus Grandpa)!

We loved George! He was a major player on this forum! My last conversation with him...went to his house and they had a hospital bed in there for him. You could tell he was getting near the end and we reflected on his life, our common bonds through Pond Boss, how much these relationships meant to him, especially Allen and Brian...he seemed to get a spark of energy for an hour or so. He told me all about planning his funeral, how it was going to go...in great detail. I looked at him, trying to poke at him just a little bit, since he was so matter-of-fact, and I asked, "George, just when are you going to die?" I smiled and his response was quick, "Bob, God did not stamp an expiration date on my chest!" I busted out laughing and so did he.

George was truly one of a kind.

Happy Memorial Birthday to George. We enjoyed all your good contributions to the forum.

A pity I didn't get to meet him but I loved his threads, his wisdom and his witty sayings. If you don't believe he was witty, read his profile and his answer to the question 'How many states are in the USA?' at the link below

I think this was his original posting 'handle' George. Then in 2011 or 2012 the forum underwent a software upgrade and he became 'george1' 3,794 posts. Not enough! You can click on the 3,794 icon on this link in his profile to read and see his posts and pictures.

Miss George and his feisty wisdom !

I loved this post where he was sparring with Shorty and talking smack about HSB vs SMB.

George on HSB vs SMB

It's time to bring this video of George back for all the new members.

George was one in a million. I miss his wisdom and scoldings. I deserved both, and learned equally from both.
