George was a member of the Wadsworth Deer Hunters Club. He enjoyed 30 years of trips to the camp in Colorado, hunting deer and elk. George was also a member of the Ohio Sportsman's Club. He really enjoyed time spent with his grandchildren, Brianna and Brandon, especially watching Brianna play volleyball. George loved to scuba dive with his son, in Mexico, Hawaii, and Florida.
He also enjoyed his daughter's home cooked meals, and spending time with her and family. He was in Big Brothers for 10 years, and helped mentor an 8-year-old boy and his sisters. George enjoyed his second home in Florida with his longtime companion, Christiane. He loved to play euchre and was a member of the Barberton Moose Club, the Kent American Legion, Jednota Club, and the Elks Club.
