never speak ill of the dead, you might only make it to 70. At the rate things are going you won't even get to collect your social security.
I can remember seeing George on the tonight show with Johnny Carson. He was hilarious. He got a bit bitter in his later years and I found his humor to be lacking.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

71?? Nah, that's not old. I work in a building with many in their 90s, one lady is 103.

To lose George at 71 is a shame. He could have had another good 20 or so.

RIP, Cardinal Glick.
