So sorry to hear about George. He was a great Man! Easy to talk to, a great teacher, a great Dad and obviously a great Grandpa! I loved talking to him and playing catch with him and Candy. I loved the smell of his pipe. My heart goes out to Sandra, Traci, Tiff and family! ❤️

Although I only knew George for the past few years I came to like his persona. His gruffness masked his caring and I will be your friend if you want me attitude. He always greeted me each morning with hearty hello as he arrived at Ironwood with his cup of Tim’s and an eagerness to get going as he waited for his friends to arrive for their 8:30 tee time. George was a superb golfer and always wanting to improve. Even though his eyesight failed him somewhat he could smack that ball far beyond men his age although he could never see it beyond 100 yards off the tee! i WILL MISS HIM. Rest in Peace my Friend.

Sandra, Traci, Tiffany and families,
We are so sorry to hear of George’s passing.
I have so many fond memories of us working together over the years. When I started out working for him in high school he helped me find my passion for the work I love to do. It was obvious that we were meant to build kitchens together because as time moved on and years passed, we ended up working together again in the same building.
George was not only someone I worked with for many years but, he was a mentor and a friend who will be truly missed.
May the memories you have bring you comfort in the days ahead. You will all be in our thoughts in prayers.
