He was employed at Holiday Inn for five years, where he was recently promoted to banquet supervisor.

George touched many lives. He was very active in sports, beginning as a young child. He was known for his aggressiveness and hard-hitting as football player. Many remembered him as being a pesky bug on the basketball court, he was quick and aggressive. George had planned to continue his education in respiratory therapy, but we know God has a better plan for him.
