George loved the feeling of the wind in his hair while riding his Harley. He would always cheer on his Chicago Bears with a cold beer in his hand. He enjoyed the company of his snake, Monty. George was lovingly referred to as Snake. He rode with his brothers and sister in their motorcycle club, the NRR Knuckleheads. He had a wonderful sense of humor and thoroughly enjoyed life. He will be deeply missed by all.
