He maintained that position for over 13 Years also and retired at age 65. After “retirement” he worked as a Truck Driver for Cushing Metals, Elmo Stidham and finally ArnCo Transports.
George enjoyed Quail Hunting as a pastime, he owned and trained his own dogs and took great pride in their abilities. Peg being his alltime favorite with her son Tip running a close second. Many a day was spent in the field with family and friends. Not always intent on “filling the bag” but, satisfied with spending the time outdoors with the people he enjoyed.

He enjoyed attending Natallie and Brecken’s sporting events. He also had the pleasure of welcoming his Great Great Grandson Walker Herring (5th Generation) two years ago.

Great Grandson Colton Herring (Jordan) and Great Great Grandson Walker Herring. Brother Junior, sisters Artie and Glenda and a host of Nieces, Nephews and relatives.
