The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" George lived an amazing life filled with faith, family, love, happiness and music. He was united in marriage to Virginia Dement on March 3, 1989 in Paige, Texas. George possessed a natural ability to touch those he met and is dearly loved by so many people who had the pleasure of knowing him. His charisma, character, loyalty, humor and warm caring heart all made an impression people didn't easily forget. George was blessed with a beautiful voice and incredible musical ability that began when he was a small child and continued throughout his life.
