George was born on February 24, 1939, in Lake Forest, IL, to his beloved parents Arthur and Vienna Peter. Survived by his loving four daughters, Jean Butler, Becky Picchietti (Jimmy), Connie Warnke, and Stacy White (Jeff). Proud and loving grandfather to eight grandchildren: Jeremy Butler (Chelsea), Brittney Butler, Andy Picchietti, Tyler and Trevor Warnke, Holly and Jake White. Three great grandchildren: Addie, Callie and Emmie Butler, and his brother Arthur Peter. George was preceded in death by his wonderful wife, Judy, and his grandson, Tommy Picchietti.
George was defined by his kindness and service to others. He was known for his hard work ethic, love for people, and sense of humor. He was truly thankful for the blessings in his life.
George dedicated himself to helping others, volunteer work, being self-taught with his business, Peter's Shell and Mini Mart, dog show competitions which he won several times, and active with the Lake Forest Boat Club for many years. He loved the great outdoors, loved to hunt, camp, toboggan, golf, tennis, travel, music, and especially to fish. He loved to play games, especially cards, cribbage with his family and friends. George was on the Landscape committee for many years of Island Club, their home for many years. His legacy of love, faith, and compassion will forever remain in the hearts of his family and friends. And as George would say "It is What it is" Go Bears!
