George farmed and ranched in Carbon County with his Dad and brother for many years. He and his family continued ranching running cattle and sheep later switching to a cow/calf operation. He looked forward to spring calving, lambing, and farming followed by branding, irrigating, and always fences to repair or build. He spent endless hours in the saddle riding the range and trailing sheep and cattle up and down the Pryors. The family ranching tradition has been carried on through his son Paul and grandson Ben. George was a FFA member, honorary FFA member, and continued to be an avid supporter for both FFA and 4-H throughout his life. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, four-wheeling, sporting events and traveling. George was always ready for the next adventure.
A memorial and celebration of Dad's life will be held on Fathers Day.
