Although the simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to George, he had a work-hard/play-hard attitude. George was extremely generous with his time, money, wisdom, and friendship. His pleasant, easy-going personality was contagious to everyone he met. George’s life was so full of what mattered most! He was able to maintain perspective through successful relationships and love that makes life meaningful. Family was his ultimate joy and he loved including everyone on vacations and family gatherings. George, Arlaen, and family traveled the world together.
