He was a charter member of R.E.A.C., Maumee Eagles retired group and served as President, and Vice President several times. George really enjoyed the many trips and friendships he made with the club, especially the gambling trips.

His second lung was operated on November 27, 2012 and he has been in and out of ICU until now. George was very proud of his Buckeye Country basement and was an avid fan of OSU. He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Debra and brothers, Charles and John. George will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 59 years, Delores; son, Jeffrey; sister, Maxine Teague; adoring granddaughters, Courtney Felt and Brittney Bradner; and many special nieces, nephews and friends.
