We lived Mr George & so enjoyed the times we got to visit with him, mainly at Pinetree, & he was always so full of fun..He would always make us smile & laugh out loud at his many funny stories & jokes..we will always remember his iconic saying when someone would make a remark about a really shiny or a really dirty bike..”Did you buy that thing to polish or ride?”’lol..Haven’t bern able to see much of him in the last few years but he left a footprint on our hearts many years ago...& we know you are riding with Jesus today..❤️❤️
