George Mccabe
George was a good person. We met and became friends the 3rd day I started working at Lucky Stores in January 1978. He came over to the truck shop from the Electric shop on a little blue cart and introduced himself. He said “so your the new guy?” We started talking and then he asked “have you seen this place yet?”(he was talking about the distribution center) I said “no I’ve only seen the truck shop.” He said “hop on the cart and hang on!” He took off like a bat out of hell. Boy-O-boy did I need to hang on. He drove so fast and then he drove over the railroad tracks at top speed and we both flew up in the air about 2 feet and some how we landed back on the seats. We looked at each other and started laughing so hard it was hard hanging on because George didn’t stop, he kept his foot on the accelerator pedal and never let up.  He first took me to the warehouse and showed me all around and introduced me to some of the guy there. Everyone knew George. Everywhere we went people would say “Hey George,” - “What you up to George?” - “Hey George who’s that ugly guy on the back of your cart?” No matter where we went, everyone knew George and you could tell he was very well liked!
By the time George got me back to the truck shop about an hour and a half had gone by. He gave me a tour of almost the entire distribution center. Warehouse, Ice cream and Milk plant, Bakery and Deli. 
When George dropped me back off at the truck shop my supervisor Wayne Lamont asked in a loud rough voice “where were you?  I looked everywhere for you” George quickly spoke up and told Wayne.
“I took Bob for a tour, if your going to send him out in the yard, now he’ll know were to go” and then George drove off with a big smile on his face. 
George was a good person, liked by everyone and always ready to give a helping hand. When it’s my turn to go through the pearly gate I hope George is there waiting for me with the blue cart!!!!!
God bless you George, Rest in peace my friend!
Bob
