I recently found out that George passed away in 2006. I threw the shot at Long Beach State in the mid 60's. I saw George nearly everyday. He always had some words of encouragement for me and he was an inspiration to us all. On a pound for pound basis, he was by far the strongest man in the world. Rest in peace George. You made a difference.

Here it is November of 2012 and I am reminded of something I learned from George. Training with George and Roger Estep was a dream come true. Your lessons and name live on.

George and I dated for some time before I married and after my divorce in the late 60's-early 70's. We spent alot of time aggravating Avery Brundage about training facilities for our Olympic Team...without much success. I just found some great photos of us and decided to search for him. Unfortunately, I waited too long...something I will always regret. Just a great guy in every way!

I was lucky enough to meet and train with my powerlifting idol George Frenn. He was friendly, and generous with his time and advice. He inspires me in my training even to this day. RIP George, you were one of our greatest strength athletes. You will be missed!

George was a great man and teacher. I am very sorry to read that he did not grace the Earth with his presence much longer than he did. He was strict and fair with a great attitude.

I met George in Japan in 1969, we were competing in the hammerthrow for our respective countries at the first Pacific Conference Games.
I have only just learned with great sadness of George's passing. George offered me advice on training during our time together which stood me in good stead for my career as a thrower. What a great guy. I followed his sporting achievements as best I could from afar. My belated sympathies to family and friends.
