He continued working keeping the grounds at Pequest Cemetery in rock Ridge golf course. While he retired from working at Pequest, he continued keeping the grounds at the golf course. He was planning on starting again in April, George was never one to slow down. He was a voracious reader and could carry on a conversation about almost anything. But nothing gave him more joy than his grandchildren. His love for his family was the cornerstone of his life.
George was predeceased by his sister, Sharon and survived by his children Debora Basel Holiday and Robert Basel, his grandchildren Steven Holiday, Kristin Holiday and Robby Basel and by his brothers, James Kober and Mel Kober and his cousin Barry Mayberry.
