Rest in Peace, George Willer

I received news from Marilyn, about a half hour ago, that George passed away about 4:00 this afternoon. He fought a very good fight, but this last bout was more than he could overcome. He was on life support the past few days, which they discontinued this morning.

Funeral arrangements are still pending and we should find that out in the next couple days. We'll make sure it's posted here.

George was a very special friend to Regina and me, we had a lot of great times together. He will be sorely missed. Our prayer go out to Marilyn, the boys and to the many friends who will miss him just as we will.
 
Rest in Peace George, I will miss those afternoon phone calls and your infinite wisdom.And the work week ends that I never wanted to end. You will always be a part of my Life. Steve
 
Rest in Peace General George. Rest in Peace.

I am very sad to hear this news. I send my condolences to Mrs Willer and her family.

He will be sorely missed.

Rest in Peace (+) my friend. Sorry we never did get to spend time sharing a beverage or two. You were the driving force behind the 1st out of Ohio CubFest and all the succeeding ones. As long as a CubFest occurs I do believe that you will be with us in spirit. Marilyn, Em and I send our condolences to you and the family.
 
I only met George one time and that was at his last WinterFest in Jaqnuary 2008. After that he and I exchanged many PM's and I felt as though I had known him forever. He was an inspiration to all Cub owners. He was forever willing to share his knowledge with anyone who asked for it. When I held the first Barnyard Bash he said he was planning to be here but his health changed that soon after. He simply said that I should open the doors and the folks will come. George, being George, was right.

With the Barnyard Bash upon us this weekend. We will keep George, Marilyn and family in our thoughts and prayers.

Rest in peace my friend.
 
I too have never met the gentleman but I have been inspired by his website and his obvious knowledge. Rest in peace Mr. Willer. Your family is in our prayers.
 
This is so sad to hear. George was certainly the essence of what this board and all the Cubfests are about. I am honored to have known you, George. Rest now in peace.

Thanks to Jeff Silvey for digging these up!
 
Rest in peace George. I'll look back fondly on the time I spent with you. Thanks for all you have done for all of us. God bless.
 
George was one of the best men I ever met. I have cubs because of his love and enthusiasm for them. I will miss his wisdom and humor.
 
This is a real loss. I never met George, but loved his wisdom and expertise. Not to mention a sense of humor, too. And who wouldn't like to have the man's talents in design and fabrication? Rest in Peace, Mr. Willer, and thanks for all you gave us.
