Together they raised their five children in Otis Orchards, WA. George worked construction, diving, mining, and truck driving. He always looked out for the less fortunate and seldom passed up a hitchhiker. He was a very happy dad. He was always reading and learning and he enjoyed all his children and grand children's activities. Gonzaga basketball was a priority.
