The family received friends at George and Pat's home.

George was a devoted husband and caring father, grandfather, brother and friend. He found great joy in the simplest of things, but his greatest joy was family. Not being afraid of hard work or getting his hands dirty, George was a man who never forgot where he had come from and who never lost his respect for good and common people. He had a keen sense of humor and charitable spirit that helped him cultivate many enduring friendships that will never end. George will surely be missed but cherished memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
