George married Lorraine Dion Oct. 24, 1953, in Las Vegas. After working a short time at Douglas Aircraft Company, George began what would be a 33-year career with Cardinal Industrial Finishes in El Monte, Calif., where he worked as a maintenance mechanic. Upon retiring, he and Lorraine moved to Newport, Wash., where they lived until moving to Brookings in 2007. George enjoyed building model ships, riding dune buggies and going out to eat. Survivors include Lorraine, his wife of 56 years, of Brookings; sons and daughters-in-law Mike and Lorna Myers of Placerville, Calif., Ron and Julie Myers of Grizzly Flats, Calif., Todd and Lori Myers of Newport; daughter Debbie of Brookings; sister Kay Thomason of Warren, Ark.; grandchildren Jarret, Kyle, Travis, Melissa, David and Brandyn.
