Not sure what to say?

I just stumbled across George's obituary. I'm so sorry to hear of this. I knew George when he was a defense attorney in San Diego and I was a court reporter. He was a very good attorney, lots of fun to work with. I'm sure he is missed by all.

I have been blessed to know George. It was so wonderful to see George out of the courthouse on the soccer fields. He would run up and down the sidelines cheering Jesse on. I think he was the loudest parent! George would take my son and Jesse to baseball games in San Francisco and dinners in June Lake. He was a kind man with a big heart. I treasure the many times I would run into George at KMart or Vons with Alex. He was always so proud of him. We would share the good things God was doing. My...

I had the pleasure working in the Superior Court where George was DA. Always had a big Cheshire Cat smile! I will remember him with great fondness.

A good honest man who was a real asset to the Eastern Sierra.

I had the great joy and blessing to know George during our many NCAA March Madness trips. Without question George was one of the most pleasant kind fun intelligent and upbeat people I have ever met. I only regret that I wasn´t able to be with him more. Those who who knew him were truly blessed . Love you and miss you George. God bless you and your family. Go Spartans!! Dave Chapman

It was through the Maxwell grapevine that I learned of Geordy’s passing and it’s been stuck in my mind ever since. I knew him at a distance, an 'upperclassman' at the Bay, an iconic figure even then, but to me, he was Anne's big brother. I recall rambunctious humor and gentle kindness, and wanting to be like him. And now, some five decades after, it is just so vivid. His photo reminds me of Mr. Booth, the senior Donald Booth, that is, random figments perhaps, but it feels real...

Thank you all... Love, Anne

George's Obituaries

George Booth went to heaven February 8, 2021 in Sacramento, California, the beloved second son of Donald and Martine Booth. He grew up in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin where he attended Whitefish Bay High School. He was well-known for his infectious laughter, his amusing pranks and his many loyal friends.

George attended Michigan State University and swam on the Michigan State Swim Team. After graduation, he attended California Western School of Law in San Diego, and then worked as a Criminal Defense Attorney for several years in San Diego. He moved to Bridgeport and Mammoth Lakes, California and worked as Assistant DA of Mono County. In 1999 he became the Mono County District Attorney where he served with distinction until his retirement.

George had great integrity, incredible energy and a wonderful sense of humor. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hiking and skiing. But it was bicycling that brought him the greatest delight. From his daily rides into the high Sierras to leading the peloton up Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park, his strength and stamina were only matched by his zest for life. He was always the life of the party, and as a life-long Packer fan, he never forgot his roots in Wisconsin.

George was a faithful member of his Episcopal parish and of the Rotary Club in Bishop, California, and a devoted and loving father to his son Alex and his two stepchildren, Jesse and Quinn. He is also survived by his brother Donald, sister Anne, and his two nieces, Kit and Amy Trainer. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Private interment services will be held at Forest Hills Cemetery in Pewaukee.
