So sorry to hear of George's passing. I worked for and toured with Dr Hook from 1972 until the band broke up in the 80s. I remember George well. He was quiet, kinda scary at times, but always a commanding presence on stage. He was a rock solid performer and founding member of one of the most under rated bands of all time. We all had a great time together, lots of laughter and lots of travel, but for me to stand at the back of the hall and watch their show every night was a very special gift, one I will always be grateful for. May your journey be a peaceful one, George. Blessings to you and your family and friends. Sincerely, Carla Lockhart
