George worked as a diesel field service technician for Cummins Diesel of Wisconsin. He traveled across the United States and world working on Cummins generators and motors. After 47 years George retired and opened his own service shop for another 10 years.
George enjoyed boating, water skiing, being outdoors, hunting out west and traveling with Marlene. He also loved to ride his motorcycle and even took several trips to Bellingham Washington.

George will be greatly missed by all those who knew him.
