From hunting and fishing to working on farm equipment, cars, boats he was truly a one stop shop for anything young or old minds needed to know. He truly loved spending time with his family and one of his greatest aspects in life was the fact that he was a giver of everything he could, he was always there for alot of people that needed him. Uncle George was the go to guy for knowledge or help with anything you may need.
