Interment will follow at the Mountain View Cemetery in Eastland. George passed from this earth on March 29, 2008. George was born in Caldwell, Ida. on September 17, 1923. He and his family moved to Horsehead Point, Utah in 1930 where they homesteaded. At the age of 16 George held his first job working at the Indian Creek Ranch as a cowboy. In 1942, he was drafted into the military and served three years in the Navy. In 1952, he married Lorraine Priddy, four children were born to this union; Sue (Mike) Fisher of Denver, Colorado; Steve (Dana) of Glencoe, Minnesota; Kathy (Craig) Simpson of Blanding, Utah; and Eddie (Teresa) of Monticello, Utah. George retired as foreman of the San Juan County Road Department with over 30 years of service. He loved living in this area and worked hard to make a good life for himself and his family. It seemed only natural then, that his lifelong passion to the land resulted in farming and ranching. George is survived by his four children; 12 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; his brother, James of Monticello, Utah; and his sister, Ella Shupe of Moab, Utah. He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Bob; and his wife, Lorraine.
