George started as a machinist and was promoted several times to supervisor positions. Before he had children, he told Cherry he did not want to have children unless he could take them everywhere they went – so he did. The family took numerous summertime trips visiting many states across America.

George had many hobbies that he enjoyed with his family and friends. Hunting and fishing were his 2 greatest pleasures. He enjoyed camping and fishing with his family at Matagorda Bay and in Kingsland, Texas. He loved hunting with his son Lance and seashell collecting with his daughter Leigh Ann. He also loved watching sports, especially the Dallas Cowboys and the Houston Astros, on tv with his daughter Lynette. Other hobbies George enjoyed were coin collecting, wood working, stamp collecting and building and fixing anything. George also loved many dogs over the many years of his life. Asta, Rebel, Lady, Georgie, Gigi, and Ruby will always hold a special place in his heart. He took great pride in his family’s many accomplishments and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a special source of pride and joy.
