George was in my proby class, big guy, tough guy. If I remember correctly he was found unconscious in the bucket operating at fire. Cold February night with guys rotating shifts in the bucket.
Too many guys think only fires or collapses kill you, the job takes a toll on your body no matter how tough you are!
God bless him and all.
