George was born in Long Beach, CA, on April 16, 1939 and went Home on October 25, 2004. George and his parents joined First Baptist church, and then were sent out as charter members to begin the Chester Avenue Baptist church. He returned to First Baptist Church while dating his future wife, Carol. They attended on Truxtun Avenue and Olive Drive. George served in Childrens Ministry at FBC and ODC many years with his bride Carol. George served the Lord whenever called upon in his daily life. Where ever he went, he met someone he knew to visit with or would meet someone new to visit with. The gentle giant was truly a people person.
