So sad to hear this 😢
I'm sure I, and no doubt many others, spent hours reading his threads about the hilarious and nonsensical tax/licensing arrangements overseas, the struggle to find parts, and the certainty that his little 'bottle openers' would be there with a cold one once he was soaked through from doing an oil change in 100+% humidity.
Such a loss. He will be missed.

I'll miss George's words - he was clearly a very kind man, which came across so well in his posts about his family. Such a sad day. I know George loved a Sunbeam Tiger - so in the spirit of Retro Rides:-  1964 Sunbeam Tiger Race Car 2 by Jack Snell, on Flickr |

A sad day indeed,
I always looked forward to his updates with the trials and tribulations of living in the Philipines
As a fellow STP fan i think he came as close to living in Ankh Morpork as any of us could get.
A quote from one of my favorite Discworld books which i think is more relavent for George than anyone else.
"No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away"
GNU GeorgeB your name will forever be in the Clacks.

I will say it on here again. Such a sad loss, not just for us all on here, for all the reasons mentioned above and on his threads. Not everyone touches so many people, and I am thankful HoTWire felt George worthy of a mention. His kindness, humour, patience and caring is a a great example for all of us. I am sad at his passing, but even more so for Madam, the Bottle openers to whom he was an absolute anchor, and all those in the Philippines whose lives he undoubtedly touched. Sleep well George. |

You put it so well Grizz. I am, like you, quite suprised at quite how upset I am over his death.
I hope Madam & the bottle openers & his dogs will survive ok without him.
