Hemi George in Los Angeles/SoCal?

I just found this news out yesterday, when I did a search on him. I new something was wrong, as he almost always answered the phone when I called. And sure enough, he is gone. George lived 20min from me, and I spent many a day over there buying and horse trading parts. Going back and forth on prices was half the fun.His smile and sense of humor was infectious. His collection of parts, especially Hemi parts was nothing short of miraculous. His knowledge on anything Mopar was incredible, something I tried soaking up every time I was there. The knowledge he took with him is something the Mopar community will miss, and never get back. I just can't believe he is gone.
George liked making other things, and one of them was handmade flowers. He gave these to me for my wife, I keep them in the garage.:) He also gave me this Direct Connection plate from the 70s. Two things that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I will forever miss you Georgie. Keep hitting that go-pedal in the sky !!!! RIP Friend.
