Our good friend Norma always tickled us when she said Croft had many imaginary friends. Imaginary friends are our blogger friends. People, many of which we have never met and most but not all are Rver's.
Well, I had the great opportunity to make contact with "Our Awesome Travels". Suzie and George full timed for 14 years. Imagine that. What a life that must have been. George discovered this last year that he was sick.
He spent the last couple of months in a wonderful hospice in Canada where his wife Suzie, family and friends stopped in daily to visit him. He always had a smile on his face and was given the royal treatment. He had wonderful meals and snacks every day and also had a beer or two as a relaxer.
I admire his strength, and ability to spread that smile all those days that he probably didn't feel very well but did what he had to do for himself and his friends and family.
Goodbye George. You always had wonderful posts, great cookouts, and some wise words. Blessings my friend. Enjoy the eternal fulltiming.
It seems to me that all we do these days is say goodbye to old friends..now I know how our parents felt. Sad. The blog is a lovely way for a surviving spouse to revisit all those good times.
ReplyDeleteI will miss George's daily blogs, and what he has been cooking up on his Weber Q.
ReplyDeleteNorma and I first met George and Suzie in a truck stop restaurant along the Big Bend in Texas. We had stopped for lunch and when George and Suzie passed by he recognized our motorhome and the Honda from mu Blog photos, stopped and came in. We had a wonderful couple of hours with them. We were lucky enough to meet up a couple more times in Quartzite over the years. George will long be remembered as a wonderful ambassador for the RVing lifestyle and for his eagerness to help other RVers in any way he could. His influence was one of the reasons we bought our first motorhome and headed south! His trademark hat and constant ear to ear smile were a bonus! A wonderful man who will be missed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said, Chris. Spoken like you knew him, from the heart. What a wonderful tribute to both Suzie and George.
