A very sad moment in time for me.
Like Dean I had the pleasure of speaking to George on the phone several times. I always hoped to take a detour off the turnpike some day and meet the man in person, now sadly that chance is gone.
Even over the phone you could tell this was a true gentleman with a passion for all things Grouse. His book "That's Ruff" will always fill an honored spot on my book shelf.
I hope George and Boy have been reunited and are tramping through an October covert, chock full of grouse, all flying straight away. Gods speed George.
