On a typical day you could find George with his buddy William Davis getting coffee at Uncle Willie's in Millsboro, on a bike ride into town to Bodies, and later in the day you may see him at Food Lion picking up a few things. George always had to keep busy doing something. He was a great cook and always made something good for dinner for he and his brother Bruce. George was a quiet and private man who kept to himself. He enjoyed watching baseball especially the Orioles, wrestling and horse racing and also loved to listen to bluegrass and country music. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
