Thanks for passing this on, Bob. Truly, we are diminished by his loss.

Bob, I am not sure you knew George King (truebadger@xxxxxxx)
personally, but in emails to me he mentioned you in several
discussions about the Rollie Board (forum). I am sure he did not
mention this to the group, but his recent absence was his fighting
lung cancer. He passed away last Saturday morning at home in
Aspen Hill, MD. I hoped you could pass on this sad info on to
that group. George, a retired electrical engineer was an avid
Leica and Rollie user for many decades. He was a staunch film
guy, fighting digital improvements whenever the occasion
permitted. George, as many “old film guys” was a master in his own
home darkroom. He lived in my general area and we became on-line
friends when we realized we both knew many common people. While
not a legend as many whose deaths we see reported, but he really
enjoyed that Rollie group and I am sure he has some friends who
will miss him.
