"Always sad to hear of a loved ones passing, but when you think back...George had a good life. Back in the day, George was a successful business owner taking his two small kids loaded in back of the station wagon far far away to a remote location called Lake Travis. Think about what that took. All the work & what it represents today. The Rock is epic. All because of George. If we died today, what would our family remember? Oh..we liked to fish a lot.......And why is it that we like to fish a lot? Because we spent so much time at The Rock on the front porch organizing all the worthless lures that never caught a fish. That's what started all this fishing almost 50 yrs.ago. Let us salute ( tequila ) George & may he Rest in Peace"
