Upon graduation, George heeded the call to serve his county, enlisting in the United States Army, serving in the Korean War. Upon his honorable discharge, George also served in the Army Reserves. Upon returning to civilian life, George’s career path led him to Miesel & Sons Company in 1960, where he began as a truck driver and eventually became a very successful sales representative including Salesman of the Year for 3 years straight. His territory included the entire state of Michigan and he proudly worked alongside his father for many of those years. George retired in 1988 after 28 years of employment. After retirement he went back to truck driving for a while, traveled, and worked as a Golf Ranger in Oscoda, Michigan.
George will be remembered for his love of boating, golfing, making caramel popcorn, and his yearly trip to Florida with the love of his life, Peg. He was also very proud of his involvement and in the development of the baseball park in Fenton, and his many years of coaching his son in baseball.
