I will miss our weekly phone calls but will remember him whenever I hear Bob Dylan. My fondest memories of George was going to see Bob Dylan a few years ago with he and Ian.
Dear Dylan and family,
George & Clarice and Garry & I were all friends and worked together at Abraxas in Pennsylvania. I remember when you were born, Dylan. Garry passed away in 1993 and maybe he and George are betting on the ponies now, if they have horse-racing in Heaven. I kept in occasional touch with George over the years and knew that his health was declining. Clarice taught me how to shoot pool at the Bucktail Hotel & Bar. Great memories!! I am very sorry for your loss. George will be missed! Sincerely, Sandy (Wilkinson) Warren
