George never met a stranger. Everyone who knew him knows he always had a smile on his face, was always pleasant to be around, and told witty jokes. He was a brilliant carpenter, and had his own craft business: Cozy Cabin Crafts. He was known for loving his cats, and feeding birds. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him.
