George spent his career as a mill worker first in Hines and then relocating to Roseburg and working for Roseburg Lumber where he retired in 1998. Hunting was one of his passions along with working on his Jeeps. He also loved to dance to the good old Western tunes. George and Donna could clear a dance floor, everyone would set down to watch them dance. He was able to take his dream trip in 2015 to Branson, Missouri, a gift from Sarena and Dave. He also took a dream trip to Alaska which included a drive down the Alcan with Sheri and girls in 1989. George always enjoyed his family and friends even his grand dogs Mitzie, Rilo, Saddie, Husky and Lucy. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
