He also built and operated the first car wash in Brunswick. He later worked for Walter Huston, learning the electrical trade. In the early sixties he founded Huston and Frena Electric which he ran with his wife Jeanne until 1976, when he sold it to his brother Norm.

George's family is very grateful for the wonderful care the good people of Beacon Hospice gave to Dad.

George's life will be celebrated with a graveside service at Hillside Cemetery, on April 27th, at 11:00 AM, followed by light refreshments at the Marion T Morse Community Center. In lieu of flowers, Dad requested donations to the Friends of the Lisbon Library, or to the Shiloh Chapel in Durham.

We love you Dad, and hope you're up there riding motorcycles with Paul and Ryan.
