Happy birthday! :cheers:

Am restoring a Dewald 610LW for a couple of friends. Be nice to see George pop in on that thread with one of his projects, preferably of the same model.

Would it be shitty to make a post to the effect over yonder?

Belay that. This is in your honor George.

Even though we never met face to face, George was like a brother to me. Our shared interests in German Shepherds and automotive work, in addition to amateur radio, provided lots for us to discuss during much correspondence.

George was one of a kind, an absolute perfectionist when restoring anything, and a damn good soul. He always mused that I threw myself on my own hand grenade when I got myself banned at QRZ over those toilet ticks editing his signature. He was angry with me for months!

I'll surely miss George. A lot.

RIP, my friend.

Oh No... I am surprised and deeply saddened to hear this bad news. I first met George on 75 meter AM back when his call was N2GBY. We spent a lot of time on the radio and on the phone talking about restoring and modifying old radios, looking over schematics, sharing ideas , etc. For quite a long time Me, George and another guy named Phil (KB2MAM) used to hang out and ragchew on 75 m AM almost every night till the wee hours. Sadly Phil passed away many years ago. There was a short stretch where I was going through some tough moments and George was there for me, offering me support, encouragment and helping me to get along. He was a really great person, kind hearted, great sense of humour and a great restorer of things. May he RIP. He will be deeply missed.
