He met the love of his life, his "LoLo," in Germany at the age of 19.

George went on to work for the California Department of Corrections, Folsom State Prison, and retired after 20 years.
George was greatly devoted to his family and leaves behind a legacy of love and strength. He was a man of incredible integrity with a tremendous work ethic and quiet and playful sense of humor. Known for treating everyone as his equal regardless of circumstance, he was admired by all who knew him. George will be missed by all and forever in our hearts.
In keeping with George's wishes, no memorial service will be held.
