He always wanted people to visit, share a meal, and stay as long as they could. Family reunions were the highlight of his year because he was surrounded by the people he loved most, night and day, sharing stories, bourbon, and lots of laughter. He had the most contagious laugh.

George was loved and respected by family and friends. He will be greatly missed.
