In February 1975 I met George in Bermuda where he was stationed at the Naval base. We were later married in Corpus Christi, Texas on April 6, 1978. He became a father to Patrick and Shanda who he later adopted and grandfather to Tajee ,Shonneil, Zarrin, Alante, Mia, and Sage. He continued his Navel career for 21 years then retired. The Navy became our lives until retirement. Then he joined CHOP and kept the heating and cooling systems humming and collected another family of friends.
George was a good friend to many. He had a special way with people. He was compassionate, kind, and always willing to help others.
He was a good husband, father, and grandfather. He loved his grandkids. They became his life. He will be missed deeply and forever loved.
We have to mention his love for his cats. His favorite was Tommie then Charlie. After their deaths he was undecided about getting another. He had his eye on another cat named Cloud. He fell in love with her and brought her home 2 months ago. But he just had to have Oreo to be Cloud’s buddy. Together both of them are so happy and loved.
George is survived by his loving wife Denise, son, Patrick (wife Contay), daughter, Shanda, stepchildren: Dean, Andrew (wife Selena), Herbie (wife Carla), Robin, David, brothers: E. Carl 3rd, Charles and Richard, sister, Patricia Shelton and 6 grandchildren. He was pre deceased by his parents, Elmer Carl, Jr. and Mary Frances Fishel and brothers, John and Timothy.
George had a host of wonderful friends, especially Chip Moeinere who he considered a brother.
We offer a special thank you to the doctors and nurses at Samaritan Hospice, the Seventh Day Adventist Church and Grace Baptist Church.
Anyone wanting the make a donation in memory of George can send to the American Cancer Society at cancer.org.
Come celebrate 59 great years Saturday 10-11 a.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, where there will be a service at 11 a.m. Interment private.
His Loving Wife, Denise

Rest in peace little brother, I loved you and will miss you dearly!
PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES DURING THIS TIME OF YOUR LOSS. MAY YOU FIND COMFORT IN KNOWING “GOD IS NEAR TO THOSE BROKEN AT HEART AND THOSE CRUSHED IN SPIRIT HE SAVES.” PSALM 34:18
Please know that you and your family are in our prayers. Like you, we anticipate the 2nd coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. O, what a family reunion that will be as we gather around the throne rejoicing in our new bodies, eternal life, and just being with Jesus!
My uncle was fun to be around. He went shopping for my clothes, outfits, and everything, and he loved to tease me. I will miss him deeply.
Denise~I know that you have been on a very long road to get to this point~I am thanking God for the time you and George got to share together~there are no words to ease your pain~this journey has come to and end~and all David and I can do is pray that God walks with you~holds you in his arms and helps you get thru the end of this this very painful time. We are thinking of you with love and kindness in our hearts~may George rest in eternal peace without any more pain~until you meet again.
With much love your neighbors,
David & JoAnn Powell
I’ll not grieve for you,
God wanted you now so he set you free.
The Family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
Gods blessed you and will continue to bless you
We will miss you,
Carl and Laura Fishel
