Actually it's passed away. Past tense of pass.

I do appreciate you posting the article. I didn't know who he was and I am glad to have read about his life. Thank you!

Not pasted, passed or any other fluffy feel good word. It's referred to as died.

But yes, he did great work.

George was an icon in the automotive world. It would take pages and pages to document his contributions to automotive design both in the custom world and in Detroit. He will be missed.

Remember, he built the original Bat Mobile for the TV show and the Munster cars. What I remember most was George introduced using drawer pulls on expanded metal for custom grills back in the '50's.
