George worked one year at the Chatsworth, Illinois screen factory immediately after high school. This is where he met Carol.

He and Carol collected antique glassware and enjoyed antiquing around the area. He considered himself a life-long Ford man.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at the McLean County Nursing Home for taking care of him. Their care and love will be remembered.
