Effingham - George R. "Bob" Finger, 83, a resident of Effingham, NH, passed away Sunday, October 31, 2021 with his loving family by his side. Bob was born and raised in Lincolnton, NC, and moved to Burlington, MA, where he met his wife Priscilla A. (McGinnis) Finger with whom he was married 60 years this December.
He is the son of the late George L. Finger and Vada (Deal) Finger of Lincolnton, NC.
Bob served with the United States Army as a tank operator in Korea and Germany.
Prior to his retirement, Bob worked as a tin knocker in his own auto body shop in Cambridge, MA, before buying and running a motel in Bennington, VT, with his wife Priscilla.
Bob was an RV-er with his wife Priscilla for fifteen years through the winter of 2019. They frequented Sarasota, FL, and spent the last several years in North Fort Myers as "snowbirds". He enjoyed the afternoon cocktail hours with friends from all across the United States and Canada.
He was known to be an avid New England sports fan, loved NASCAR, and could often be found dropping a fishing line in a lake or pond. Bob was a hardworking, proud man ready to lend a hand and had his tools at the ready wherever he went.
In addition to his wife Priscilla, he is survived by his two daughters, Stacey J. (Finger) Nowak and husband Brian E. Nowak of Litchfield, NH and Beth A. (Finger) McLellan of Manchester, NH, and his four grandchildren, Kelsey and Shane Nowak and Connor and Gavin McLellan, all of New Hampshire.
