He was gracious enough to help me identify a button that I found down in FL… I wouldn’t know anything about it if it wasn’t for him.
RIP, and condolences to those who knew and loved him.

He is at peace with the Lord R.I.P. and these comments show what a good person he was !

Definitely a loss to the community. I did notice some post in the past which you would think Thecannonballguy would speak into to, but he never did. RIP Peter Calvert George.
