George Patrick Carty

Hospital after a sudden short illness. George was born March 24 1937 in

Spokane WA to parents Florence and William Carty. A member of the Teamsters

union since 1959 he drove for many of the local freight companies like

United Buckingham, Bestway, and Silver Eagle. George was an all-city high

school football and baseball star at Gonzaga Prep, even playing briefly for

the Spokane Indians. Later in life George became a lover of golf and

excelled at the game. George had five children with his first wife, and two

with his second wife.

In 1983, George met his current wife Edith and they have been happy together

for almost 40 years. George and Edith spent their early retirement years

traveling around in their camper and ultimately becoming snowbirds in Yuma

AZ. George was a devoted lifetime member of the Catholic Church.
