To all the O.P.A.Family who have been so suportive to me and my sons family.Your calls, notes,prayers,and donations are deeply appreciated.Grief and despare has totaly overwhelmed me I haven't been able to think clearly or function properly.George jr. and his sister Jody grew up at our family owned drag strip in thompson ohio near cleve.as little kids they poured cokes in the snack bar,picked up papers,hauled the trash,mowed parking areas.George worked his way into the tower and eventually became the event director and announcer.motor sports of all types are in our family D.N.A.I became a minor partner at the nearby bowling center out of desparation ,as the drag strip was only open three months in the summer. the money just would,t make it thru the year. George & his sister learned the bowling business as well. when george graduated from college,[the first of our family to do so] he ran the bowling center so I could race my offshore boat. He was only able to be in the boat with me a few times. we won the eastlake race together,Making my dream come true.he went on to develop his own monster truck indoor series. begining with 4 events 16 years ago growing to 22 events presently.He loved being a dad to his two girls.as a volenteer he became a home room mom and conducted lots of field trips.on a recent trip to catch butterflys he ran down butterflys with his net untill every little boy & girl went back to school with one.[in the past the class was lucky to catch one or two ] He was a truly a fine example of a Father,brother, son and patriotic American.1500 people came to our home town to pay their respects to George Jr. and his family during a terible snow storm [15" ] hundreds sent cards ,hundreds called.My heart swells with pride and graitude,yet breaks with pain and sorrow.I am sincerly greatfull to all the frends in Offshore Racing who have helped us endure this loss. Sorry this is so long but I felt compelled to share a tiny part of his story. George Eisenhart A.K.A. Grumpyg
