George was born on February 4, 1954, in Evansville, Indiana to George Peterson and Mable (Bowles) Peterson. He moved to Kokomo in 1957 with his family. He journeyed through life with a smile on his face and never met a stranger. He was best known for that smile and his bib overalls. One of the highlights of his life was seeing "Mousetrap" in London at St Martin's Theatre while proudly wearing those same overalls with a sport jacket. The Brits he met during his trip welcomed him and his smile with open arms as if he was one of their own. George graduated from Tri Central High School. He occasionally vacationed in Door County, Wisconsin which was his "heaven on earth".
He retired from Chrysler Corporation.
George is survived by his daughter, grandchildren, a sister, multiple nieces and nephews, his former wife and a dear friend.
He was preceded in death by his parents and sister, Peggy Percifield.
George will be cremated and laid to rest alongside his parents. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.
