In his early years he made his living as a welder, then about 1983 became a truck driver, first hauling sand and gravel and for the last several years as a local freight hauler. George was happiest when his home and yard were filled with family and friends. He especially loved his grandchildren who affectionately called him “Pop” and thoroughly enjoyed coaching little league football for his own sons when they were younger. He loved the 4th of July holiday, saving all year to purchase fantastic fireworks and would tell Pat that “she could have Christmas, but 4th of July is mine!”. George also loved to fish, any kind, anytime and listening to music, he always had a radio tuned in around him. He was a hard worker, loved to live life to its fullest and since his cancer diagnosis has spent this last year trying to make sure that everyone would be okay after he was gone.
