Paul R. George \u2013 78 \u2013 of 34 Sawyer St. Site, Hornell, died unexpectedly Sunday evening (June 25, 2023) at the Steuben Center for Rehabilitation in Bath, NY.<\/p>\n
Born in Hornell on April 26, 1945, he was the son of Henry & Helena (Ferrin) George.<\/p>\n

Paul had been a communicant of St. Brendan\u2019s Church of Almond. He was an avid NASCAR fan and also enjoyed fishing. He was a true outdoorsman who, in his younger years, enjoyed camping, hunting and motorcycle riding. Paul often talked about taking \u201croad trips\u201d with his brothers. In recent years he simply loved going for a long drive throughout the countryside and appreciating the beauty of \u201cMother Nature.\u201d Paul loved spending time watching old westerns on TV, his favorite being Gunsmoke. His greatest joy, however, was simply spending time with his children and grandchildren.<\/p>\n
He had been married and divorced to the former Linda Willis with whom he remained friends until her death in 2017. On January 8, 2005 Paul married the former Michelle \u201cMickey\u201d Carlton who died in 2013. He was also preceded in death by his brother, John George; his nephew, Frankie George; his sister-in-law, Sylvia George; his \u201cfeathered friend\u201d, Rocky; several aunts & uncles.<\/p>\n
