He dedicated his life to community service through the Harlan Lions Club where he was a long time member and served on state committees as well as a Past District Governor. He received the Melvin Jones Fellow award for humanitarian services by the Lions International Foundation.

He spent a lot of his retirement years traveling with his wife, other Lions members and eye health professionals on many mission trips to Central America providing vision care and eye glasses to areas without access to care. He enjoyed traveling in the U.S. as well and made it to all 50 states.

He was a devoted member of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.

George enjoyed spending the winters with his wife and friends in Palmetto, FL. He was passionate about his yard as many could see him weeding while driving by his home.

In his spare time he always enjoyed golf, bowling, NASCAR racing, singing to his grand children, solving Sudoku puzzles, reading the Barons financial paper and a constant eye on the stock market. He loved to tell you if the market or gas prices were up or down today.
