George worked as a painter for the Livingston Company in Duxbury and Baumhofer Builders in Edgartown. He enjoyed his work and the relationships he built throughout the years.

George was a loving person who tried to find the best in everyone. He loved to cycle around the town and help the homeless through his travels. George would pass out blankets, clothing, coats, and food to the less fortunate he met. Family was most important to him and there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for the people he cared for. He loved the time he spent with his children, grandchildren, siblings, and family.

In his spare time, George enjoyed listening to music, cooking, going to the beach, cycling, walking, and spending quality time with his granddaughters. He had a great sense of humor and a big heart. He will be missed by all the lives he touched.
