Many of the regulars from over the years know George very well. If you have joined the forum in the past year chances are you never had the pleasure to meet George. I attended his Winter CubFest in January and it was the one time I got to meet him. He and I have exchanged PM’s several times also. He has been somewhat of an inspiration to me in that he would give me a little advice now and then.
When I talked with him at his CubFest I had just picked up #12 and had it out on the trailer. He said that at the rate I was going I would surpass him with the number of Cubs owned shortly unless I slowed down. This summer I picked up #18 which had gone through a fire. Rosanne and I were discussing a name for it when I looked at the burned metal on it and thought of one of my favorite comedians – George Burns. I also thought of my new friend, George Willer, another man with a sense of humor and how I thought that maybe now I had finally surpassed him in the Cub count. George is a natural name for this Cub. George Willer would take something that looks like this Cub and make it a thing of beauty. I hope I can too.
George is an unbelievable guy. He is always willing to help a fellow Cubber. He is always thinking of a better way to make a repair and he makes sure to share his thoughts with others. He is a friend to all that visit this forum. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to enjoy George’s company check out his website at http://www.gwill.net. It is an excellent way to learn more about a very gifted gentleman.
As always, Rosie and I send our prayers to George and Marilyn. We hope everything works out for the good and we hope to visit again in the future.
