George was absolutely devoted to his family and was an extraordinarily kind, loving, sweet, and patient father and grandfather.  He took the most pleasure in having his children and especially grandchildren, around him.  He had such a strong work ethic that none could compare to.  George always shared his wisdom and taught all those around him so many valuable life lessons that will continue to be carried on long after his passing.  He was a man that was admired throughout the neighborhood.

George was an avid and talented gardener and was owner and operator of S.H. Rose, Inc. a company he started with an old pickup truck and lawnmower.  He was a retired Machinist for American Product, and an Army veteran of the Vietnam War.

Words cannot express how much his family and friends will miss him.  The world is a better place because of him.
