It is with great sadness that I let George's followers know that he suddenly, unexpectedly, and peacefully passed away at his home in September.
George was my father. He was a brilliant problem solver and was passionate about conservation and the outdoors. He was the type of person that could fix almost anything and saw the value in reusing, re-purposing, and re-engineering. He enjoyed cooking and had a gift for breads and an endless enthusiasm for learning, on an eclectic range topics. The last books on his kitchen table were "Engineering in Plain Sight" and "Open Circuits: the Inner Beauty of Electronic Components".
I'll miss a lot of things about him, right down to the incredibly packaged parcels he would send a few times a year for special occasions. If any of you have ever received a physical package from George, you'd know that the packaging itself was almost always as impressive as whatever was contained within.
I'm sorry George didn't have more time. I'm sure there were more interesting projects in the works and a lot of events that his family would have liked to share with him.
It was his wish that his websites remained open. So please, continue to read, share, and enjoy the interesting and handy guy dad was.
Best, Jessica
