George E. Flournoy Sr. was born in Corning, CA to Chester and Loretta Schugart Flournoy on November 24, 1933 and passed away at his home on July 16, 2017 following a brief illness.
 
The Flournoys are a well known and old time family for which the town was named. George attended Flournoy Grammar School and Corning Union High. School. He loved all sports, was a die hard Giants and Niners fan and never missed attending the Red Bluff Roundup or the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale. He worked in the arena at the Red Bluff Roundup in the 1960's and 70's, and judged the working stock dogs at the Red Bluff Bull and Gelding Sale for many years.
 
He was a gifted stockman and horseman (mules too), and excellent roper and was always in demand with local ranchers for gathering and branding. He raised and trained registered Border  Collies and his dogs competed at the local level. George raised commercial and registered sheep, Boer boats and cattle, was a member of the Cattlemen's and Woolgrowers Associations and served on the California Ram Sale sifting committee. He was a board member of the Flournoy Grammar School and Corning High School, and a member of the Corning Union High School Booster Club. As an avid houndsman and hunter, he guided bear, lion and deer hunters in the Western U.S. and assisted in mountain lion research with the Department of Fish and Game.
 
George is survived by his wife Sandy Flournoy, DVM, his children, George Flournoy, Jr. (Suzanne), Lana Flournoy Trede (John Trede), and John (Julia) Flournoy. He is also survived by grandchildren Justin Trede, Destry Trede, Amy Flournoy, Grover Flournoy and Harvest Flournoy, five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
