George worked for Grossmans in Doors & Windows for 30 years. He enjoyed teasing his grandchildren which earned him his nickname "Grumpy." Other hobbies were golfing, playing poker and cribbage, meeting his buddies at the casino for "lunch" and a few minutes of slots, puzzles, reading, yearly vacations on Sanibel Island, FL, old time country music and spending time with his family. One of his favorite things to do was sitting on his farmers porch that he built at his Weymouth home overseeing the happenings of the neighborhood. He recently retired on Quaddick Lake in Thompson, CT where he would spend his mornings drinking his coffee and enjoying the calmness of the lake.
George's family extends their gratitude to Dr. Joseph Botta and nurses at Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, CT. for the loving care they provided him over the last few months.
