A true servant at heart, George was always there to help anyone in need, from using his tractor and power tools to helping with carpentry and electrical work, there was never a need too large or too small. George was a loving and faithful husband and father. He was the former owner and operator of Rawson Construction for many years; he went on to work in the Oil Refinery Construction Industry where he was a supervisor. He never met a stranger and always enjoyed sharing his sense of humor with everyone he met.
