George Motquin Obituary
Green Bay - George B. Motquin, 64, a lifelong Green Bay resident, died unexpectedly Tuesday, June 5, 2018, with his family at his side. He was born October 31, 1953, to Wilfred and Flora Mae (Thomas) Motquin. He graduated from East High School. On September 26, 1992, he married Cheryl DeBauche. After owning and operating GJ's Corner Bar in Howard, George was employed at Walmart for over 23 years before retiring. After being introduced to dartball 50 years ago by his father, he carried on the tradition with his sons and nephews. For the past 5 years he was Captain of "Team George", his favorite line being "You suck!" Known to break into spontaneous song and a gift for improvising vocals, George was the life of the party.

He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Mike; and his pets, Bear, Shadow and Freckles.
