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.
