That is sad to hear. He was a great lead player and had a sound that I loved.

Back in 2003 I had an opportunity to spend some time with George and his wife Marilyn at their home in Apple Valley CA. It was a wonderful experience. He was recovering from a stroke at that point. I guess he never recovered 100%.

It is sad to see such a nice guy and great player pass away. Godspeed
George!
