He was born and raised in Chatsworth, New Jersey. After graduating from high school, he entered the military and served his country faithfully in the United States Army. He and Lucille then spent fourteen years residing in New Jersey. Upon moving back to Missouri, George worked for the L. E. Meyers Highline Company, Marathon Electric, and retired from the Independent Stave Company.
George professed his faith in Christ at a Mt. Zion (Cuba) Freewill Baptist Church revival, and he and Lucille became members and attended there for many years until their health began to fail.
He was an avid deer hunter and loved the outdoors. He had a great passion for fishing and gigging. George and Lucille loved to make trips back to New Jersey every summer to see family. In his spare time from his church and family gatherings, he enjoyed raising blueberries, or playing a good game of dominos with neighbors and friends. There was nothing he enjoyed more than being with his grandkids and great-grandkids.
George was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that his family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories he made for them over the last eighty-seven years.
