George served four years during the Korean War in the Navy during 1951-1955 and was a lifetime member of the VFW and American Legion.  He worked for McDonnell-Douglas as a machinist retiring after 37 years to thoroughly enjoy retirement traveling, dancing, and “shooting the breeze” with his many friends.

George always said he was blessed with his family, kids, and that God was good to him.
