George had a strong work ethic and he was employed for many years in the RV and manufactured housing industry.  His current position as a supervisor at the White Pigeon Michigan Forest River plant exemplified the strong leadership skills he possessed. In his spare time, George enjoyed watching NASCAR, bowling and playing golf, playing penny slots at the casino, grilling outdoors, and watching Notre Dame football.

Most of all, George was a loving son, husband and father who loved his family more than anything else in the world.
