Always early, never late, priced items like a madman, took down would-be criminals and never took a paycheck after a day’s work. Big George loved his Canes because he loved his family and knew Miami needs wins to keep the family business rolling. Family first and the Canes, a close second.
Those of you who knew him, think about him for a few minutes today. We all have our classic stories. Remember one of yours and honor the man today.
Two weeks before he passed, G saw his last Canes game on TV. He was 86 and the last Miami touchdown he witnessed was Dorsey to Shockey for the 27-24 win over Florida State. The lasting image he had of the Noles was despair after Wide Right III. We should all go so gracefully.
If allCanes had a Ring of Honor, George Rahal would have his name unveiled today. Me? I’d just like to talk a little Canes football with my granddad one more time. Maybe ask him to throw a little good luck our way in Atlanta this weekend. We need the win, big guy!
Salud!
