I don't have a lot of info other than the passing of a great Model A guy and friend George Pope. George is one of the restorers of Huff and Puff the 1930 school bus. George hadn't been well for a while. We talked on the phone but I didn't get over to which saddens me. George was my go to guy. If I needed a part or had a question I always called George. For you out there that don't know the story, look up on Hemmings "Huff and Puff". George was an amazing guy. I'm sorry to say I heard of his passing through another friend. I hadn't heard and finally found a small blurb in the obits , George passed July 12th. The article stated services pending and have still yet to find anymore. I'm hoping he got a good send off as I always imagined a procession of Model A's transporting him to his final resting place. Rest in Peace George.

was very sorry to hear about another Model A guru passing. It sure is hard loosing the very influencial members of our Model A hobby. To his family and friends my deepest symphaty. May all remember the good memories and make it a goal to share our hobby with others just like he did.

I first met George in 1966 at the MAFCA national convention. He was a great guy and really an ambassador of the Model A hobby.
