I was very sorry to hear of Georges passing. As one of only two remaining TFAC Monday Nighters I have many memories to reflect on. He worked for my grandfather as an estimator in the summers when he was teaching in Turners Falls. He would tell me stories that even my father did not know. He is now with the Monday Nighters gang, Bill B, Charlie W, Trip T and Bill S. He will be missed.
