George grew up in California and was the second youngest of 9 children and one of only two sons.

He was a past member of the Pima Dental Study Club and an instructor at Pima Community College. He was an entrepreneur, divorce recovery coach and beloved friend to all who knew him. He will be fondly remembered for his incredible wealth of knowledge, his heartfelt laugh, his loving nature, his love of serving elite BBQ (ribs), and his signature jean shorts and grey T-shirts (with pocket).
Due to the current Coronavirus situation, services have been postponed until further notice (July?).
George was known for his willingness to help those around him. In lieu of flowers or donations, please help someone in need.
