Ran into him last fall at Wells Fargo Bank in Huffman Tx... I went inside the bank to make a deposit, bc the drive through line was long, and he was there with one of his sons. We were the only ones inside that day, and I noticed him and right away I wanted to say something to him but I didn't out of respect cuz I'm sure everybody does. So he actually looked at me and said, "Good Morning, how are you doing?" And I kind of froze up because greatness was talking to me. I told him I was doing well and asked him how he was doing, and he said that he was doing great he was just out and about running errands. Then it all made sense because I saw this really cool totally restored 1960's Ford truck in the parking lot. So I asked him if it was his truck and he said it was. So we got to talking, and when his son came back, we walked outside and he showed me the truck. I mean this thing was MINT! I had driven my "67 Mustang convertible to the bank that day, and he had noticed it, and I told him I'd let him drive it if he wanted to, because I was sure he was good for it if he wrecked it. He started laughing and said he doesn't fit in Mustangs. So we got to talking a little more and then he asked me if I wanted to go to Dairy Queen with he and his son, and I was like HOLY SHIT! I'm just going to the bank and now I'm riding in George Foreman's truck going to Dairy Queen! Fkn REALLY???!!! We went to Dairy Queen right around the corner from the bank, and I ended up buying him and his son and ice cream cone. Just an unbelievable experience!
RIP Big George!
