It is with sad news that I learned from fellow VCOA/VSA members that George Downs, (the" Walrus"), passed away. I always enjoyed his replies and wit on the Brickboard. May he R.I.P. and my condolences to his family.

    Saw George at Carlisle recently. I remember him most vividly from our Project Esther threads a dozen years ago. My sympathy to his family and friends.

    George was one of the Old Breed. Country Born and Bred on the Oil Patch. He was a good friend, we didn't always see eye to eye on religeon and politics but he was always there when you needed help.

    His "Little Red" stories about his time in Panama with a 122 were priceless and reading them was a pleasure.

    At least we know there is an expert Volvo tech in heaven!

    That is sad news indeed. George was always quick with useful input based on extensive experience. Our sympathies to his family.
