RIP George Fullerton

It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of George Fullerton, founding partner and the “G” in G&L Musical Instruments. George died on Saturday of heart failure, only weeks after his own wife passed away. Besides his son, Geoff, he is survived by a daughter, Diane, and three grandchildren. A memorial has been scheduled for 10 a.m. July 25 at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove. Instead of flowers, the family has asked that donations be sent to the St. Jude Memorial Foundation. 7/07/2009
