I just recieved the below email.

"Not sure if you got the word or not but George did die yesterday.  Bev's
sister called late yesterday afternoon and told my wife.  It sounded like
they declared him brain dead and he did die shortly after the ventilator was
removed.  She said Bev was in seclusion and not taking phone calls or doing
emails right now.

May he rest in peace.   And may Bev find the strength to carry on.

Thank you.

David"
