George "Pur Gold" Peloquin R.I.P.

Gentleman George Peloquin passed away on Friday from advanced Leukemia. I saw him two days before he died at his home. He was surrounded by family and friends, plenty of them. He was alert, friendly and not in apparent pain. He told me the end was near and the next time I would see him would be at his grave. He related that he had a full and fun life and done everything he had wanted to. We knew George for almost 30 years and had nothing but respect for him. He loved Panteras and had his own special way of preparing them. He also had a background in professional drag racing, including top fuel dragsters. Linda and George once faced off in a drag race at old Carlsbad raceway that was almost too close to call. The winner's light came on in Linda's lane and years later, George said he let off just before the lights to let Linda win. He was that kind of guy. We miss him already. Pur Gold = Pur Class. Dave and Linda
