Although I have not seen him in many years, I knew and fished with George when I was in my 20's. Our paths crossed often at BI. I was living in Mystic and used to be in a RI Rod and Gun Club with him. I remember one time he had me over to his house and showed me his needle making operation. This was around 1980 or 81 and needles were the new hot lure. He gave me a handful of them. I had them in a plastic bag for years and a few years ago I passed them on to DZ for his needle collection. He knew all about them and seemed to appreciate them for their place in history. I think I still may have a couple someplace.
Sorry to hear of his passing. I know he was close with Tim Coleman at least he was back then and the two of those guys pounded a lot of beaches in the day.
