When not outside, George loved spending time with family and friends over a meal. He is most fondly remembered by his grandkids for always having a bowl of ice cream after dinner, a treat they all relished during each visit. In his later year's after Johnnie’s passing, he stayed very close to his family, each of whom will miss a nightly chat with him. George was a unique man. He loved music, was prayerful, and was always honest, straightforward and truthful. George leaves behind a loving family in his sons, Jer ry (wife Gret) and Ray (wife Debbie); as well as his grandchildren, Melissa, Clint and Aaron; along with his great-grandchildren, Emily, Max, Carter, Hayley and Camden. He is also survived by his brother, Ed McCa leb, Shreveport, La. George was an honorable man who knew and re spected what was right in this life.
