GScott and I visited Boswells several times when he would come back to his hometown of Baltimore to visit his ailing mother. He was a gem.GScott's son on Feb 23, 2018 wrote:"I’m sad to say my incredible dad, passed away this morning. He had a heart attack which took him to Heaven instantly.

Dang man. G was great, always enjoyed his posts and lame jokes . I remember him posting pics of his knees after surgery.
He will be missed, prayers for his family.

Re: Broken Pipe - GScott
This hurts. Several years ago, the wife and I spent a day driving around Napa Valley with Giles and his wife. We drank wine, and then Giles and I pissed off a bunch of liberals by smoking pipes on the patio at the Coppola Winery. Several of his pipes are in my rotation, and the man gifted me a barely-used tin of GLP Renaissance. There's still some left, which I'll smoke to his memory.
