I had the pleasure of meeting George on a few occasions. Great guy with unlimited amount of knowledge & skills he freely passed on.
RIP - He will be missed.

Sorry to hear this. Ken had said something to me about this on Facebook but I just didn't put the two names together.  |

Just a question .... Who is going to drive a Vw to the funeral? Let's see how many we can get to show up. If mine was up and running I would.

It's supposed to snow so I'm not sure there will be any there. I'll be there in a semi invisible car

Got word that this is not a suit and tie event.
"George hated suits. So we thought his shirts and whatever pants, jeans, whatever. He was very much about casual."

Just received this in an email from Debbie Haineault,
"I wasn't sure how to contact everyone. But, I wanted to give a big Thank You for all that gave their support and prayers through this very difficult 2 years. George fought hard...he so enjoyed everyone we meant at the car shows and it was so hard on him to not be able to participate like he wanted. Thank you for the flowers. The Haineault Family"
George was an amazing guy and everyone who met him knew that first hand and that was A LOT of people! The pastor at the services Saturday recommended one thing to keep George's legacy alive. Do one random act of kindness in his honor. I hope you will all do this
