Sorry for your loss.  Sounds like a big loss to the entire valley.

George was always great to talk to at conventions and fur sales. He was a wealth of knowledge. I bought many traps from him over the years and he was always great to deal with. He will be missed by many.

My Dad talked to him often, I never had the priviledge

What a shock. George was one of a kind and I will sorely miss him and his companionship. Always helpful and fun to talk to and do business with.  He was a great representative for all trappers and for the WSTA.  My condolences to his wife and family.  What a sad day for the trapping fraternity.  Bless him

I understand there is going to be a memorial service on July 21st at 7:00 PM at Memorial Park in Pateros WA.
I'll update if I hear anymore.
Such a shock to hear. I saw George 5 weeks ago and he was the same as always. Had been working on his rental house and talked to me about a hunting trip to Germany. He did so many things for Trappers in general but especially for WA trappers I'm not sure we will ever be able to find a way to equal his good work.
On a personal note he gave me a framed collage of fur tags from his auction purchases at that last meeting. It is hanging in my living room and takes on new significance now.

He left a big mark in the Fur / Trapping Industry State, National and International.  He will be missed by all that knew him.

Until we meet up gain George, Happy Trail on your New Adventure.
Rest in Piece my friend.

Great piece - My grandfather used to take me up there to sell the coyotes I shot when I was young - made enough to keep buying ammo to sling at them.  He was always great to deal with and had a few stories.  Haven't seen him in a long, long time.  RIP

George Brady was my first trapping mentor and a great friend.  I had decided to become a trapper after reading some passed around copies of Fur, Fish, Game when I was in Baghdad.  When I got home I found the WSTA website and started calling contact numbers.  George was the first to answer.  He invited me to come visit him in Pateros and had his skinner take me coyote hunting.  When he discovered that I also had my Jagdschein (German hunting license) he invited me to dinner. Brenda made a wonderful German meal and they both treated me as family.  George taught me a lot about trapping and gave me my first lures (including a bottle of mysterious damaged-label otter lure with which I eventually caught about 40 otters). George gave and sold me my first fur handling tools and taught me how to skin and flesh pelts. During this time, we also served together on the board of the Hunters Heritage Council and the Washingtonians for Wildlife Conservation.  I developed an allergy to the long meetings after a few years but George was a stalwart and carried on.  Tight chains, George, thanks for everything!  - Chip
