Throughout his career, George worked in a variety of fields including accounting, finance, banking, education and retail. He served as an accountant, estate manager, guidance counselor and dedicated volunteer. George’s passions included current events, world history – particularly the British Empire – reading, politics and Philadelphia sports. He was known for his generosity of spirit and genuine interest in others. And, most notably, for his lifelong love of Long Beach Island, NJ.

George should have been the King of England. If you insulted Queen Elizabeth, George would never talk with you again! 🤣
