31/12/2020 | R.I.P - George Parker - 27 Aug 1971 - 31 Dec 2020. Both Gauteng Powerlifting and the South African Powerlifting Federations pay tribute to George, who unfortunately succumbed to a terrible disease that has dominated the world over this last year. George dedicated many years to the sport of powerlifting. He was a previous Vice President of the National Federation and he will be sorely missed by all. We extend our deepest condolences to Georges family and friends. |
