George......

Our neighbor and friend died yesterday at the age of 39 from a heart attack.  He was a great neighbor...excited about my chickens....loved osu.....loved his new girlfriend of 3 weeks....went through a bad divorce and yet we watched that change him for the better.....he golfed 3 or more days a week (walking the course) and he had just taken up bicycle riding .....he had just come home from a ride and was taking a shower when he keeled over....they had to life flight him...my friend Tammy's husband helped to try to revive him ( he is a catoosa firefighter)....they landed the chopper on the other side of the pond while the neighbors and friends watched his lifeless and white body be taken out of his home....the one he built....the one he would play with his longtime companion Katie out in his front yard with.....retrieving balls he would hit with his tennis racket....every day.....he helped his 80 year old dad work his farm all the time...cutting hay and castrating cattle (which I just a month ago got the run down on the how to's of THAT. yuk.)....a good guy, good neighbor, a good friend to many, and the principal of the only middle school in catoosa...no kids....only parents....

And then the neighbor to the south killed 2 of his family members before he killed himself in his house....and then there is Rick....who has done his own dastardly deed of betrayal by killing our marriage...strange how things in life are hooked together.....rest in peace George....
