According to WSB radio, it was George who was shot. My deepest regret to George's family and colleagues.

R.I.P. George, you were a good man, and a friend. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and his co-workers.

 

He also owned Old World Motorcars, a supporting vendor of fchat. Either he or his wife, or both, owns the Vault.

 

another atlanta dumbass. hope the guy gets the chair.

 

RIP George.

 

If anyone hears of a memorial fund being set up for the family, please post the details here; I'd like to contribute.

 

That is horrible.

RIP and God bless his family.

 

This is so sad. George was a stand up guy, honest, friendly, just a really sweet person. I feel so bad for his family. I cannot believe this. Over a stinkin bill?? WTF?

 

We here at Old World Motorcars, European Auto Care and European Auto Vault want to thank everyone for their kind words. We are still very much in shock as to the events of yesterday. George was a great boss and friend to us all. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Viewing will be at the Turner Funeral Home on Thursday October 8 from 5-7 PM.

I would like to add My condolences also. I have fond memories of George, may he rest in peace.

 

My condolences to his family and friends.

 

I just wanted to say thank you again to everyone. The outpouring of condolences and support from the automotive community has been absolutely wonderful. I got phone calls from several shops offering assistance to help us in any way they can, not to mention the customers that have offered their support, brought us lunch and snacks, or stopped by to offer condolences.

Plans are to keep everything going, though European Auto Care Center will operate out of the Old World Motorcars building (Old FAF building in Tucker) for the time being.

Andrea wanted me to pass along her thanks to everyone for their support as well. It really means alot to her.

Sincerely,

Michael

 

Hey it is my pleasure Mike, it was good seeing everyone this morning.

 

As you all know and have read that George Tyrones was killed on October 5th. We will all miss George. Unfortunately the European Autocare Center had to be shut down. George Also owned Old World Motorcars an Auto Restoration Shop in Tucker. Due to his death the Old World Motorcars is no longer operating under that name but George would have wanted to continue servicing and restoring cars. So as his business coach for years I founded Vintage Autoworks operating out of the same facility and we are continuing to provide the same level of services and workmanship and continuing to restore cars. So the work, the service and workmanship continues under a new management. I welcome everyone to stop by and if you were a customer and we are not restoring your car today to continue thinking Vintage Autoworks as your same restoration facility for the cars we have restored for you in the past. If you have not used us before then please stop by and visit us.
