George Waldorf Obituary

George Morse Waldorf, 88, passed away on December 22, 2025.

George was born in Glasgow, MT on April 2, 1937 to Lansing and Estelle Waldorf. His dad passed away when he was just seven years old. Shortly after, his mother and he moved to California. He would spend every summer in Dillon with his grandparents. In his teens, George worked on several ranches near Glen.

Upon graduation from high school in Van Nuys, California, he joined the Air Force. While stationed in Evreux, France he met Genevieve (Jenny) Pihan. After a year of dating, they were married in France. A year later, their first son, Thomas, was born. George was then transferred to McCord AFB in Washington where their second son, Eric, was born. The service then took the family to Oklahoma and then Hawaii. The family had many fond memories of their time on the islands. Their next transfer was to Offutt AFB in Nebraska. After 22 years in the Air Force, George retired and the family moved to Dillon, MT. George always loved Dillon from the time he was a young child. He was proud of his family lineage in Beaverhead County, which dated back to the late 1800's.

George began his love of high power shooting in the Air Force and continued to shoot throughout his retirement years. While in the Air Force he won many awards including a national record. In retirement he was most proud of the award as a Distinguished Rifleman. George and Jenny, married 63 years, traveled extensively during their retirement. They enjoyed camping, fishing, hiking, golfing, tennis and other activities where they could be outdoors.

George is survived by his wife, Jenny, sons Tom (Ginny) and Eric (Kathy), four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. There will be no services at this time, but memorials may be sent to the Beaverhead Animal Shelter or the Dillon Gun Club.

Arrangements are under the direction of Brundage Funeral Home. Condolences for the family may be posted online at www.brundagefuneralhome.com

I knew George from the many rifle matches we shot together. He was always a tough competitor. When you were in a match with George you had to bring your "A game". On the other of that coin, George was always ready to help a struggling newbie. When we were in "the Pits" scoring targets George would entertain us with stories of matches won and lost, fish too big to keep and hunting.
We missed George when he retired from shooting and we'll miss him more now. He was a good friend.

I met George in the late 80's, where else, at a High Power Match. I always enjoyed visiting and shooting with him, over the years. Found him to be one of the most congenial people ever met. Rest easy my friend.
