George was a member of the Freemasons. He loved working on old cars, making something out of nothing. If it was broke, he fixed it. George loved his family; some things George said often were "you are as welcome as the flowers in May" and "doing pretty good for an old codger." George was a gentleman, the most polite man you would ever meet.
