He looked and spoke almost exactly like my grandpa. Gramps is getting up there too. Good thing I've got plans to visit him this year.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.

I’ve heard his name mentioned a couple of times on national broadcasts. Locally, he was the go-to guy during hurricane season. RIP George.
