Dear Russ, Michel and family ...
Jeff and I were never lucky enough to meet your Dad. Your family reached out to my sons, Mark and Joe Ristow, when they had no one. No one. Mark and Joe talk of the entire family fondly to this day, but when they talk about George, their voices and faces still light up. Both boys are grown men now, and started working with George and Russ when they were pre-teens. These are easily the MOST memorable times of their lives. Thank you for allowing such a wonderful free spirit and true human being to share in the lives of my sons. Your Father and your family has had a HUGE impact on my sons lives.
We are so so sorry for this unexpected loss and will keep all George's family in our loving prayers.

Hello Robin,
Clyde and I would like to send you and your family our deepest sympathy on the sudden loss of your Father. One thing to remember he passed doing something he enjoyed doing which is a blessing in my mind. My Dad passed dancing at a wedding reception and it helped me to know he passed doing something he enjoyed. Hopefully it will help you deal with his loss.
Love and prayers Rose and Clyde Leibundgut

I don't know what we'll miss more. George telling stories or hearing stories about George. I know that all of us have lost a RACERs MAN that supported motorsports to his fullest.
He was an OLD SCHOOL RACER and I'll remember his many contributions to build and support Wisconsin auto racing.
His legacy will be that he always did more than necessary to "RUN THE SHOW" and make Wisconsin auto racing / racers BETTER.
George will be missed by his numerous friends, those that raced with George or watched him race. Many will remember his stories or heard racer tales about George. The rest knew of him only by reading race results & point standings.
I was fortunate to have had more than a chat or two with George and will always remember his HUGE smile.
Sorry for your loss.
always / Boring Bob
