He was a supply clerk at Keyport, Naval Supply Center and Naval Hospital for nearly 20 years. He married his wife Edna in 1989 and they were happily married until his departure from this life on May 28, 2004. George was a dialysis patient and representative with Olympic Kidney Center of over 20 years. George was an unforgettable person. Though many times he struggled with his disability, he was a positive and inspirational person. He was outgoing and friendly, always the first to say hello and loved to converse. Even as he knew his death was imminent his main concern was for those he loved. He will be very missed. He will be remembered for his courage, grace, and dignity. He who dares wins.
