He always had his projects to keep him busy, he was a true handyman.

George’s journey on this earth was not an easy one, but he never lost his gratitude and appreciation for those in his life.  Even at the worst of times during his health struggles he was always saying “thank you” for what was done for him.

George found things that brought joy to his life, from his little dog Blackie, to fishing on a hot summer day.  He as proud to fix up his place in Joplin.  He spent countless hours at the local Habitat for Humanity looking for deals and building his stash of tools. 

George is survived by his mother Patricia Larson, and five sisters, Christine, Bonnie, Jill, Stacy, and Carrie, along with seven nieces and nephews, and three great-nieces and nephews.
