    He spoke at our national meeting in the early 2000’s, and he was a fantastic speaker. Great fighter, and perhaps more important, a great human being.

    Rest in peace.

    George Foreman did it ALL in life! He will always be a winner.

    Used one of his grills and South Beach Diet to help my 16-17 year old nephew Seth, who was living with me at the time, loose 60+ pounds. Seth never went back to being over-weight and is now a "health nut" in his 30's. Thank you George!

    Those GF grills are nice. I think mine must be 25 years or so old by now.....still operates like a champ. Might have to bust it out again this weekend in honor of Mr. Foreman.
