George enjoyed deer hunting, camping, and gardening but most of all loved his John Deer tractor and could often be seen driving it down Morey Park Road.  He also enjoyed cooking for family and friends, and everyone loved his spaghetti sauce.

He is survived by his daughters Debra Trombley and Kim Fiacco; grandchildren, Timothy, Jessica, John, Amber and Nicholas; siblings, Nancy Greenway, Charles Sheets, Harry Sheets and Mike Sheets.  He is also survived by nine great-grandchildren.  In addition to his wife and parents he was predeceased by his siblings, Alice Bay, Marylou Straub, Emily Olson, Donna Deuel and Bill Brooks.
