Dear Lux,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of George. I was always inspired by his guidance and kindness to me. A man that thought outside of the box.
Truly a great spirit. If heaven has real estate for lease and or sale rest assured George will "Git er Done". A true "Enterpriser".

Sorry for your loss, George was an old friend, and along with Owen Reed and Buddy Clements we had many hours of hanging around together when we all lived in Shelby County. He will be missed.
