Joseph Hambly George
Joseph Hambly Joe George of Moore Township, passed away on Saturday, August 31, 2013, in his home surrounded by his family. He was 95 years old. Born in Weaversville, he was the loving husband of the late Ethel (Heberling) George and the son of the late Joseph and Mamie (Edelman) George. He was the proud father of three daughters and a very active life-long member of Chapman Quarries United Methodist Church. He was a veteran of World War II, having proudly served in the Navy aboard LST 268. He was retired from Bethlehem Steel in 1979. Joe took full advantage of his retirement years. He was an authority on the local slate industry and rarely missed an opportunity to share his knowledge and to display the beautiful works of art he created out of slate. He was an avid collector of Eastern Pennsylvania Indian artifacts and was the owner of an extensive collection. Joe enjoyed playing bridge and especially looked forward to playing golf with friends. Nothing, however, was more important to him than making memories with his family. Survivors: Joe is survived by three daughters, Ann, Sarah, and Laura; a sister, Lily; as well as one granddaughter and two great-granddaughters.
