We reflect on a man who touched our lives. I loved his square dance talents
and the fact that he invited those of us who were Teen Prominaders (Thanks
to Mr. Scroggins) to dance with his adult group. Brings back many wonderful
memories to me.

George W. Tuohy passed away in July, 2001 from a malignant brain tumor. He
was given two months to live in December, 1998. He had a great team of
doctors and a positive attitude which kept him alert and doing his
woodworking until his last 24 hours. His doctors were amazed.
