Very sorry to hear this. George was a very talented man, and some of the programs he wrote were truly brilliant. May he rest in peace.

He had a very sharp mind, even wrote the first draft of the 68020 emulation core for QPC in PC assembler. Also enjoyed meeting him on our trips to England. My last contact was probably over 10 years ago, but every few years he came to my mind and I wondered how he was, considering that he seemed to be a bit older even back then. Do you mind sharing his age? I hope his last years were good ones. Regards, Marcel P.S.: Sorry everybody, currently a bit out of the QL world, it was more luck than anything that I've seen the message today. I hope one day I can partake a bit more again. ___ QL-Users Mailing List

I remember we privately met about a decade ago. Still have photos from us and the involved Q60, made with his huge reflex camera. Interesting discussions about floating point operations, 68060 specialties and his SMSQ/E port to GWASS. George was a fine person and one of the greatest QL developers. He will be missed!

Re: [Ql-Users] SMSQ/E 3.39
Hi Richard, My condolences on the passing of your father. I used all the software he wrote and he used some computer hardware I built. I always enjoyed talking to George at QL shows and found all his presentations, really interesting. I am really saddened by his passing.
