One of my favorite memories is spending my weekends selling conch fritters with George and Jason in his food wagon during festivals throughout my middle school and high school years. George always brought an incredible attitude and a contagious sense of humor that made even the longest, hottest days enjoyable. We spent hours cooking side by side while he shared stories about his childhood, his football career, and the life lessons he learned along the way. I learned so much from simply listening to him.
What stood out most was how genuine he was with everyone. There was always a line of fans outside the wagon, not just for the food, but because they wanted to talk to George. No matter who it was, he welcomed every conversation with humility and kindness. Even while working over hot oil in the summer heat, he never complained—he always found a way to crack a joke, lift the mood, and make the moment feel special. Those weekends are memories I’ll always carry with me.
