Obituary
FRANK "LARRY" GEORGE, 81, passed away on August 27, 2013 at his home in Bay City, Texas.
A beloved son, brother, father, and grandfather, Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond Arthur George and Prudence Elvira George, his sister, Louise Mitchell, and a nephew Kenny Mitchell. He is survived by his brother, Raymond George, and sister-in-law Shirley George; daughter Vickie McMicken and son-in-law Bryan McMicken; daughter Debbie George; daughter Kathy Stovall and son-in-law Matt Stovall; stepson Nathan Coats; and former son-in-law Horst Karges. He is also survived by his eight grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, two nieces, and one nephew.
Larry was born in Port Arthur, Texas, on July 23, 1932. After graduating from Lamar University with a degree in Chemical Engineering, he served in the army before settling in Bay City, Texas, where he was a long-time resident. He traveled extensively during his career as a chemical engineer and retired from Celanese Chemical in 1994.
An avid lifelong learner, Larry immersed himself in a variety of hobbies, including painting, drawing, boating, landscaping, acting (he was a member of the Bay City Community Theater), amateur magic, and building remote control airplanes and model train sets. Drawing on his engineering background, he designed and created an amazing model train set and city in a spare bedroom of his home. He was also a lifelong bridge player and greatly enjoyed playing bridge with his friends.
"Grandpa Larry" was very active in all of his grandchildren's lives and faithfully attended their choir concerts, theatrical performances, athletic events, and award ceremonies. He was always ready to help with school projects, no matter how big or small, and eager to share his love of learning.
Visitation will be held Friday, August 30, from 5pm to 7pm at Taylor Bros. Funeral Home in Bay City, Texas. The funeral service will be held at 2pm Saturday, August 31, at the First Baptist Church, also in Bay City, where he was a member. He will be buried at Hawley Cemetery near Blessing, Texas.
