AUTHOR GEORGE MALLIS IS DEAD
Paul Withers of Galata Coins writes: No details have come to
us yet, largely as George and his wife had no family, but it is
with very deep regret that we tell people that George A.
Mallis, joint author/compiler of the book on Morgan dollars,
died some time around Christmas, shortly after the death of
his wife.George was getting on a bit and we often used to joke to him
when he was feeling down that he couldn't possibly die as he
was almost the bionic man, having had so many bits and parts
replaced.George was a great guy and a constant source of inspiration to
us when writing our book on coin-weights and our book,
Lions, Ships and Angels, on coin-weights found in Britain was
dedicated to him. When he got going he was virtually
unstoppable, despite his age, and he had many interests
besides coins and coin-weights. He retained his interest in
being a consulting engineer until the very last."- 2000-02-06
