George Long Obituary
September 27, 1956 - April 30, 2023
George Hazlett Long II went to be with Our Lord on April 30, 2023, and he will be missed by his family and friends.
George was born on September 27, 1956, in Waco, TX, to George Hazlett and Faye Nell Long. He graduated from Waco High School in 1975 and attended Texas State Technical College, where he received his Associate Degree in electrical power technology. He worked for IBM 40 years as a Customer Engineer; retiring in 2020. George met his future wife, Pam Herring, in 1980. They married October 18, 1986, and had three wonderful children. George and Pam were not only partners in life but also partners in business as in 1996, they opened George's Timberhouse in Lacy Lakeview, where it is still in operation today. After retirement, George's favorite pastime was working on his farm-driving his tractor, baling hay and raising cattle, including his pet longhorn, Gus. His family was the most important part of George's life and he loved being surrounded by loved ones and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Faye Nell Long; and brother, Surry Long.
He is survived by his wife, Pam Long; daughter, Jessica Koenig and husband, Samuel Koenig; son, George Long III and wife, Alicia Long; son, Harrison Long; sister, Julie Long; and grandchildren, Nicholas Koenig, George Long IV, Samuel Koenig, Adelaide Long, and Koen Koenig.

I am so sad to here about my old friend George Long. I have lots of good memories of George at Central Freight Lines where he would come to service the computers. I remember George and Jerry Mattiza and their antics always making me laugh. Great man.

George was always a great person with a positive attitude. For years he sponsored a soccer team called George´s Timber house Falcons. May he Rest In Peace and May his family find peace in knowing he is remembered by many.
