George LeCuyer was a man who made an immediate and lasting impression. He could be abrupt and headstrong, but he was also abundantly generous, caring, intuitive, creative, productive and nurturing.
After his family, his adoptive home was foremost in his thoughts. He was a founder and the greatest champion of revitalisation in downtown Hampton. He brought something unique and sophisticated to a moderately cultured city, thus the intellectual level and general quality of life in Hampton were greatly elevated by his endeavours.
On the lighter side, George was the only man I ever knew, this side of the Atlantic, who consistently wore braces (suspenders). He drove the only four-door, single-seater car I ever saw (his office on wheels). He had a strong opinion on nearly all that occurred in Hampton (usually deservedly so). His palate was brutally discerning, though when he happened upon a good thing, having one was not nearly enough. And, who could not be impressed and amused that, for several years, you could fill your automobile gas tank, and acquire a magnum of fine Champagne in one stop!
I first became personally acquainted with George many years ago over afternoon drinks with several local businessmen. I knew, then, that he was a man to reckon with, and I eagerly anticipated each ensuing gathering. I have learned much from George about business; and, more importantly, about living well. I am fortunate and honoured to be the heir to the Wine Street Gourmet. George was a respected mentor… his advice and guidance, and the patronage he and Nancy have bestowed upon me are far beyond valuation.
I will miss George, as will most of Hampton, but I must confess my feeling of loss is quite profound. I am deeply grateful to him… for in many ways, he helped make me who I am today. I regret the trial of illness he and Nancy had to endure over the past several years. Rest well, George, you showed us how to live the good life… now you can live the best life! Much love to Nancy and family. I offer my most sincere condolences and prayers.
