I’m saddened by the news of George’s passing. I have fond childhood memories of growing up together, starting school, long summers playing, a very large go-kart. Our paths crossed on Merrion Sq. about 25 years ago. He talked proudly of his son travelling abroad to pursue a career in equine. I’m sure he and all the family will miss George greatly, as I miss the days.
