February 12

He really loves his job…

He lives each and everyday and his hobby is now his job…

He is going to miss doing what he loves the most as someone needs him more right now...

He left home a few years back to sacrifice his family for his hobby and his love...

He is a guy that was introduced to my life a few years back and his energy is endless...

His enthusiasm is contagious and it is fun just trying to keep up…

He has no enemies and even has his own language…

He carries a menu with handwritten specialties that he shares with his audience…

He is a creature of habit starting every morning with his trudge through the elements…

He is meticulous, caring, engaging, thoughtful and oh yes type "AAA"…

He loves a "power nap" knowing the day starts at 7 a.m. and ends at 11:30pm…

He has a wardrobe that can only be measured in inches, not feet…

He takes pride in looking his best, but needs to learn to tie a tie…

He is a guy that is going to be missed this week…

He is attending to family needs back in his home on P.E.I.…

He is my partner George Matthews and is one of the best in the biz…

He will be missed for only a short time and our prayers will be with him and family…

George, take the time to love and give the ones you love the same thing you give to all of us every night you are on the air… passion, desire and the want to win!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family… YOU will be missed!!

Respectfully,
Your Color Analyst
