He was born December 28, 1927 near El Paso, TX to George Wallace Gould II and Jessie Estelle (Randal) Gould. They preceded him in death. His sister, Cynthia Phillips, also preceded him in death.

George was a graduate of Ysleta Schools in El Paso, TX. He was a veteran of the US Navy, serving from 1946-1948.

DuPont from 1952-1985 as a Civil Engineer. George was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Over the years George enjoyed fishing, hunting, woodworking, gardening, and drawing. He also enjoyed traveling in his 5th wheel travel trailer. He had a great love of the American Southwest, notably Arizona and New Mexico where he loved hiking the canyons and mountains. In his later years, George became an avid bird watcher and caregiver of family pets.

George is lovingly survived by his wife, Sharon Jungclaus-Gould, step-daughter, Anne (Kevin) Coyner and their daughter, Willow and step-son, Karl F.
