George was employed in maintenance for much of his life and worked for a few local businesses including Hussmann Corp in Gloversville, and Mohawk Cabinets where he retired from in 2016. In his spare time George enjoyed hunting and camping as well as tinkering and fixing things.  He enjoyed spending time with the ones he loved, especially while sitting out front under the pine tree.  He was a great man who would lend a hand to help anybody.  If you asked, he would help.  He will be dearly missed by all the lives he touched.
