George was known for his love of the outdoors; whether it was camping, fishing, or having a BBQ. George was known for having a great time. He loved to dance, and always had his ice chest ready to go. He was mostly known as family man who loved his wife and daughters very much.

He graduated from Fox Tech in 1961 here in San Antonio and worked civil service as the machine shop supervisor at Kelly Air Force base for 30+ years, and could fix anything.

While acting as a Docent at Institute of Texas Culture & San Jose Mission he repaired a water wheel that had been out of commission for many years in preparation of President Bush on Aug 29th, 2001. He was also an usher @the Majestic Theatre.

The family asks that George be remembered in the way he would have wanted. Remember the good memories, and have a shot or beer in his honor while listening to The Hometown Boys.
