We are going to miss George! My niece Nicole Griffin and I are artists at the Chattanooga Market and so looked forward to seeing George each week. He brought license plates to us, but also other pieces to make our recycled art. He was so sweet and it was very interesting to hear about his life. We just want the family to know that he was an incredibly special person who will be missed.
