George was born in Pine Grove, Michigan to Franklin and Maude Plantz. George was no stranger to hard work, which included driving a truck, working for Burroughs, and working at the Bonners Ferry saw mill. The thing he loved most was faming, and so George always lived where he could have a garden and a barn full of animals. George married Marge in 1947 and together they raised their children in Novi, Michigan. In 1967 George and Marge moved their family to Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Frank was off in the Navy by then. Stella, Linda and Michael graduated from Bonners Ferry High School. The saw mill hired George in 1967 until he retired in 1978. Once retired, you could find him at the auction most every Thursday telling stories and bring things home to fill the 20 acres he roamed with his dog Pepper; Katka Mountain was George’s heaven on earth. George was always ready to help out family and friends. Family and friends loved coming to George and Marge’s for dinner; to play cards and to listen to George’s story about he grew up. George’s family and friends were his most treasured possessions and he loved each and every one of them unconditionally. We all love you Dad and we will miss fishing with you, playing cards with you, hearing your stories and having you here to keep us on the straight and narrow. We love you more than you could ever imagine. You and Mom are our most precious breath of life.
