In Dec 2021 George Despotakis lost his battle with cancer. Not before spending some quality time with his newborn son. His wife, Michelle, has made one of his J&S shirts into a Teddy Bear for their son Jordan. It includes the shirts embroidered J&S logo and George's name from above the shirt pocket as the feet.

We all miss George and his infectious personality.
