Prayers for a board member

[DRYHEAT]

I just wanted to ask the board to keep my friend George, (AzGeo) and his wife Kathleen in your prayers as he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

I realize George could be abrasive at times but he is the kind of guy that would do just about anything for anybody if it was within his power and skill set.

I just wanted to let the inmates that know George know, and for anybody that may have been trying to get a hold of him for parts and/or rigging work to understand why he has not contacted you back.

I will miss my friend.

In better times testing Lane’s boat

 

[DILLIGAF]

Ahhhhh man ;(

 

[PaPaG]

Crap. Prayers for both him and his family.

 

[sintax]

oh wow, thats super bad news. Please let him know how sorry I am and will be thinking about him and his family!

George was one of the most helpful v-drive guys on this site. He'd would always go out of his way to help people, no matter how basic the question was. The world is going to lose another great guy, and a wealth of v-drive knowledge.

 

[Outdrive1]

Awe man. Sorry to hear this.

First picture I can recall seeing of George, I think I'd have ID'ed him anywhere --- exactly as I pictured him.
I've missed his often spirited contributions to RDP since he apparently decided to step away.
At least I think that's what happened. ?
George has and will be missed here on RDP and I know the will be by a vast number of fellow "old school" boaters.

 

[bagged97taco]

Damn that sucks. Great man!

 

[rivrrts429]

Another legendary v-drive contributor it appears we will lose. I always enjoyed interacting with George and learning from him.

[rivermobster]

Fuck cancer. He will be missed for sure.

 

[DB / HAV]

Did George live in Havasu and work at the Havasu Marina shop quite a few years ago with Bruce when they worked on boats?

 

[Joker]

Prayers for George. That’s really bad news.

 

[coolchange]

George was quite a fixture around Granada Hills back in the day. He grew up under his dad George sr. tutorage and the likes of Kurtis and others in the sprint and Indy car circles. Generations of info in there. A lot of people were put off with his sometimes gruf demeanor but he was always willing to help you out. I wish him Godspeed and Kathleen strength.

 

[Ducksquasher]

Prayers coming!

 

[guest hs]

Spot on.. super talented and intelligent individual. It was a huge loss for the site when he and Brian got in that tiff and they wouldn’t let it go..
I have nothing but respect for that man and I hope things go as well as they possibly can for him

 

[ArizonaKevin]

Fuck cancer

Had the pleasure of talking with george a few times, always a pleasure to talk to and very nice to a young puke like me with too many questions.

 

[havasujeeper]

Yep. Fuck CANCER.

Prayers being sent.

 

[warpt71]

God damnit!!!!

I've known George my whole life. Him and my dad graduated highschool together, he rigged my dad's Sanger and helped with my first Hondo with the previous owner long before I bought it.

He has shared his dreams of finishing the boats around his house with me many times and he was always excited!

I need to make time to make a trip by the house

 

[merc_400r]

Sounds like a good guy.

 

[instagator]

Did he own Finish Line eng. I thought Lenard did.

I knew you were close with him. I’m truly sorry bud and please pass along our best from this thread to George and Kathleen.

 

[Riverbottom]

I can't really say anything. He is a friend and always helped with our V-Drive Social Events in Parker. This really sucks, I know he is not on this site any more, But if George needs anything, I am willing to help. PM me and I can be in Havasu any time, I am just minutes away. CANCER SUCKS !

 

[Bigbore500r]

Very sad to hear. Prayers and positive thoughts to you AzGeo.

[Rondog4405]

Fucked deal!! Prayers to George and his family

 

[RodnJen]

Our thoughts are with he and his family.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

Wow. I had great conversations with him via this site. The BS with him and Brian sucked a fat one. He helped me rig my hydro through nothing more than pictures and messages.

 

[warpt71]

Did he own Finish Line eng. I thought Lenard did.

He bought the company from Lenard.

 

[BHC Vic]

Damn. Thanks for helping set me straight George. Another guy that helped me more than he’ll ever know.

 

[NicPaus]

Terrible news.

Ryan, I don’t know if Kathleen got a hold of your dad or not, she knew he was in California at that show and I don’t know if she wanted to bother him because we didn’t really know anything for sure until today.

I texted him about something different and didn't get a response. I'm sure we'll talk at some point this weekend

 

[Willie B]

...Very sad to hear... I had a few interactions with him on the forum..,one being when I was in the music business and he either help construct a A&M records facility or possibly the building next-door... I’ll have to think hard about the others???...I hope Georges exit from this level and on to whatever might be out there is graceful and painless... sad to hear..,
