George Joseph
Brimmer
(Nickname:
June)
In Memory of My
Brother
by
Winifred (Winnie)
Brimmer Davis, Class
of l959
June was born on
2/8/44 and was
killed at the South
Glens Falls
Dragstrip on 6/8/69.
At the time he was
married to June
Marion Johnson
(Class of l96l), and
had recently been
discharged from the
U.S. Army, having
been drafted two
years previously. He
attained the
position of Drill
Sergeant and was
highly respected by
his men. Upon his
discharge, his men
had a one of a kind
rifle made
especially for him,
which, of course,
remains with our
family.
When he returned
home from the
service, he wanted
to become a racecar
driver (having
become a part of the
goings on at
Darlington Raceway
in South Carolina.)
If June had lived,
who knows, hemight
have been part of
the NASCAR circuit
which is so popular
today.
June was taken from
us at such a young
age. No one
can replace the void
that was made in our
lives.
We still miss him,
love him and
always will.
