George was beloved by his family and many friends. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was fortunate to retire early from Nestl’s (formerly Carnation) and travel in his RV with his wife and two dogs. He mastered and taught us many things, including carpentry, plumbing, electrical and cement work. He loved to grill and cook. Family favorites were his soups, chili and Chex mix. He also loved to garden (flowers). George served in the United States Army. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the American Legion. George was a long-time member and usher of St. Jerome Parish. He ran the St. Jerome Fun Fest for a number of years. George also served as an Oconomowoc alderman for many years. George had an incredible work ethic. He was a kind, loving and giving person. We are all happy that he is now in a better place and we will miss him very much.
