George's parents moved west during the depression so he grew up in Redondo<br>
Beach, became a lifeguard and had a passion for the ocean and cars. He built<br>
and raced his own Formula III, competing against the likes of Ken Miles<br>
while he worked as an airplane mechanic and later was involved with the<br>
development of the McCulloch supercharger. George's race car caught the eye<br>
of Quinn Epperly, designer and builder of the revolutionary laydown Offies,<br>
some of most competitive Indy race cars of the late 50s and Quinn quickly<br>
added George to his team.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
George had just helped Quinn build the outer body of Craig Breedlove's first<br>
land speed record car when he got a call from a friend who told him Carroll<br>
Shelby needed fabricating help. George became one of Shelby American's first<br>
employees, later his foreman. After a while George's Asthma flared and he<br>
left Shelby's, first to help Quinn and later to concentrate on restorations.<br>
At one point he was hired to run the Nethercutt restoration operation. So<br>
for his first day on the new job, he loaded his tool boxes into the back of<br>
his pickup truck, left Redondo Beach and headed north to the San Fernando<br>
Valley. When he finally got there, he paused a just moment to reflect,<br>
decided his "commute" was too much, hopped back in his truck and went home.<br>
That was one of the few times George ever made up his mind quickly.<br>
Normally he agonized over even the smallest decision.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
George retired to Maui, rekindled his love for surfing and would surf every<br>
day until a surfing buddy died following a shark attack. So then he switched<br>
to ocean swimming - don't ask. In recent years he joined a team that raced<br>
Hawaiian paddle canoes between the islands. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He passed away peacefully in his sleep. I believe he was 94-years-old.<br>
