He was born and raised in Denver, Colo., and came to us from East High School. He earned an Eagle Scout badge and acquired a lifelong devotion to tennis and fly-fishing.
At Princeton he majored in civil engineering, was a captain in Commons, was vice president of the American Society of Civil Engineers student chapter, and was president of Dial Lodge. He kept on fishing and hitting the tennis courts, with spare moments given to IAA sports.
After graduation, George turned to business pursuits, earning an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh and embarking on a long succession of management and later entrepreneurial pursuits that took him from Pittsburgh to Baltimore and finally to Springfield, Mass.
Upon retirement in 1999, George moved to Inverness, Fla., where he turned his skills to numerous local volunteer activities, as an interviewer for Princeton admissions, and in numerous capacities for the Citrus Hills community. There, he was proud to be recognized as a member of the Citrus Hills BGA (Bad Golfers Association) and active in its charitable activities.
George’s first wife, Patricia, predeceased him. With his second wife, Sandra, he enjoyed travel, catching up with classmates, and — yes — still fishing.
