During the next 45 years he was Cubmaster, Scoutmaster & Troop Committee Chairman for both Pack 106 and Troop 106. He was awarded the Scouter's Key, District Award of Merit, James E West Award and The Silver Beaver. His leadership, friendship and support will be greatly missed by the Scouting Community.
George is survived by life-long friends, Carlton, Lorna, Ian & Carlton Hall; Tyra, Bruce, Garrett, Brandon & Honor Randall; Patrick Henley and a multitude of friends in the Seadrift Community.
