George Ennor, who died on Saturday morning, December 31, was the professional’s professional - a racing journalist who loved what he did.
He worked for Racenews on a freelance basis for seven years, ever since the Racing Post let him go, and we were delighted to be able to have the services of such an experienced journalist.
George was mainly involved with the Racenews Racecourse Service at the major meetings and was glad to be in the thick of the action as he had been previously with both the Racing Post and The Sporting Life.
He knew virtually everyone and was respected throughout the industry - he was a loyal and trusted colleague who was always went out of his way to be helpful to those he met.
The reoccurrence of cancer meant long and arduous treatment sessions yet George never complained and always wanted to be back on the racecourse.
We will miss you hugely George - our thoughts are with Jan, his wife, and all his family.
