To the family of George I want to send my deepest condolences.Ironically I heard of his passing the same time that I learned that Alice Cooper was being elected into the RxR Hall of Fame. We used to listen to Alice contantly while working on our cars in highschool.In fact I was surprised to read that he and his son were working on Fords.We were specifically Chevy back then.I actually sold him my ’65’ Nova after we souped it up.Even though we have lost touch over the years I will miss him greatly because he was a big part of my high school memories.
