Everyone knew and loved Uncle George. George and Terry travelled extensively both nationally and internationally. Their most memorable vacations, however, were enjoyed with their family during a European Tour, Trips to Ireland, and Cruises. The McArdle Clan also had several raucous vacations together in Acapulco which became family folklore. George was always ready to enjoy an adventure. He had a strong heart for his Irish Heritage.

He loved to dance and play slot machines. George McArdle was a husband, brother, uncle & friend. He loved God, Family and Country with all his heart. He will be missed but leaves a legacy that will be in our hearts forever.
