George Applegate

It is with a heavy heart that I must report the passing of George Applegate, a friend and member of the Richmond Club. George was 2008 Elder State Champion and won the 2009 State Doubles with Johnnie Jones. George and his wife, Fran, were at our house in December, he was smiling and happy and talking about pitching with our league again this Summer. I can't tell you much about what happened except that Fran contacted Frank Chaney and said that George apparently suffered a stroke late last week while wintering in Florida, and passed away early this morning. Arrangements are incomplete at this time, but they are bringing him back to Richmond. I will post more when I know more.
