You know as well as I do that the turnout for this celebration will be incredible. With so many people coming together to celebrate, share memories, enjoy great music and food, and honor George, it’s sure to draw an amazing crowd and make for an unforgettable day.

I have very fond memories of George coming into the radio station to record Jester's commercials. He always had a smile on his face, and I can still hear his unmistakable laugh. Of course, I can hear him saying, 'Think when you drink'.
