George was a 1980 graduate of Austintown Fitch High School and had a lifelong career as a baker which he enjoyed doing until his retirement.

George had many passions throughout his life. He enjoyed being outdoors, sitting by the pool and soaking in the sunshine, fishing and playing cards especially poker, but above all he loved and adored spending time with his grandchildren.
