George and I were friends in the 80's. He taught me how to be adventurous (hiking down the Grand Canyon twice, backpacking in Estes Park, Co). He taught me how to let my hair down and really have fun (the toilet bowl float and the Godiva and Robin Hood walking horses in the Krew of Tucks parade and dancing on the party tables afterward)..I will always cherish these memories as I did him.

George made his Nashville home open to friends far and near. He truly displayed the New Orleans charm of "southern" hospitality. Blessings to family and friends.
