Another person I regard with the utmost respect has left this earth. George was one of those rare souls that combined wit, intelligence and a way of looking at the world we could all relate to but could never put into such eloquent verse ourselves. He was a master of the English language with few peers. The late William F. Buckley was a noted word smith but where Buckley would make you feel linguistically inadequate with his verbiage, George simply pointed out the nuances of our common language and made us collectively laugh and think in ways we hadn't thought of before. This rock, third from the sun, is just a little lonelier without his articulate reminders of our frivolity, spirit and general silliness. Thank you, George.
