George was preceeded in death by his wife, Nardine, of 73 years who passed away November 24, 2025. Their two beautiful souls have now been reunited in Heaven.

George was a wonderful husband, father and friend to many. He was very strong in his Christian faith and beliefs and supported the church any way he could.
