George was an active member of Calvary Chapel Middlesex church. He enjoyed vacationing with his family at Long Beach Island during the summers. George loved to read and learn new trades. He was considered a jack-of-all-trades; there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. Most of all, he loved being with his family, whether it was sharing a dinner at home or just sitting outside with his wife and dog, Bella.”—Nicole Berkstresser, daughter
