Little George was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt, fish, and told countless stories of his time spent with his friends. He never met a stranger. He loved music, especially George Jones, playing guitar and he was a gifted singer. Being on the water made him happy and he cherished the time spent with family and friends on Lake Tuscaloosa. Life was an adventure with Little George in it and he lived it to his fullest. He will be missed dearly by his family and friends.
