I imagine George will be expounding on the features and benefits of sprinklers with St. Peter and the rest of the Apostles, It explains all the rain lately! ;) He will be sorely missed.
My condolences and prayers to his family and friends and all the folks at Rowe who have grown to know and love him.

Church, Jr. Dear Forumites, It is with great sorrow that I bear the news that George L. Church, Jr. past away last evening after a 16 month battle with lung cancer. George was 58 years old. George leaves behind a wife Cathy, daughter Margaret (Meg) Ames, son-in law Dave Ames, his mother and four sisters. George's sprinkler career started in 1974 with Automatic Sprinkler Corporation of America (Philly) and in 1998 started Rowe Sprinkler with his wife Cathy. As many of you know, he was a fan of this forum and an huge advocate for the fire sprinkler industry. He served on several NFPA committees and valued the many friends he made along his journey. His humor, enthusiasm, and passion for the sprinkler business will be a great loss for all of us. I will post funeral arrangements here on the forum when they become available. But in true George Church fashion and as a tribute and continuation of his last forum post....I know he is licking (kicking) himself in a better place. (Sorry Mr. Muncy, but I know he wouldn't have passed this one up.) Wiping away tears as I hit the send button.
