About Me

It is with a very heavy heart that I make this announcement:

George McCorkle made his Journey Home this morning, June 29th, 2007

I wish I could find the words right now to express the loss everyone is feeling. But, there just are not words

that describe such a wonderful man, only music. I have been asked to announce the services information:

Memorial Services Information:

On a personal note, I have known George for a few years now. When I met him he was one of my musical heroes. After knowing him one day, he was my inspiration as a man. He is the man we all should strive to be. I have heard the word "Legend" used on many people. However, it was not until meeting George, that I truly understood it's meaning. George you are my best friend, my brother, my hero, A true "Legend". I Love you man!!
