George and I shared many great times while working for Yamaha back in the 1970's - He always had a great sense of humor - sorry to hear of his passing - Posted by: Dave Rhodes (Former work mate at Yamaha Motor Canada) on: Aug 16, 2014

George was our Yamaha rep for many years, from I believe the mid 70's to the mid 80's. I remember when he stopped in for his last time and my Mom had bought him a new briefcase to replace his old one, as a parting gift. I saw George again when he stopped in, when he was back on the road representing Mercury. I believe that was maybe mid or late 90's. He hadn't changed. My thoughts are with Rhea and I hope she tries to contact us one day. I loved George! See you again one day my friend! - Posted by: Marence Pierce (A good friend from the past) on: Aug 16, 2014
