I offer my heartfelt condolences to the George family for your sudden loss. It's unfortunate that you lost Larry while he was still relatively young.
Remember the good times and the old times, he was a unique guy; Larry working on a car in that garage and listening to Dick Biondi on Magic 104. When he would yell to Rose that he couldn't find his ice cream & it was right in front of his nose in the freezer. When he would tell everyone (all the neighborhood kids) to “go home” and make Jimmy and Nick do chores. The J. Hamilton uniform shirt and the fishing hat rolled up on the sides and the jingling keys hanging off his belt when he came home from work. How did he keep the (George mobile) Chevy Citation on the road for so long? While Nick and I were in the apprenticeship, he'd love to throw us a curve ball with his vast electrical knowledge (farmers three-way circuits and the like) and would smile and laugh when we didn't figure them out. How he would side with Lesa over me, even when I was right. He will be missed.
I hope you find some peace that his suffering was short and know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
