His greatest pride was being Construction Superintendent for the installation of the elevators in the World Trade Center, New York City. He proudly served in the Navy during World War II, enlisting at the age of 17 and was a lifelong Yankees fan. George was a member of Peace Dale congregational church for many years and loved his faith community. He was an incredibly grateful man.
