George's obituary
George served proudly in the United States Army during the Vietnam Era as a gunner on medic helicopters helping rescue many of our fallen heroes. His work career included many years of over the road trucking, retiring from the Teamsters in 1998. He enjoyed gold mining his own claim in Colorado, skiing the black hills in Innsbruck, Austria. George and his wife also enjoyed snowbirding in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he would watch western movies while enjoying a cold beer. During the summer, George loved camping, smoking a cuban cigar and working on projects around the house. More importantly he loved spending time with family and friends, especially his spoiled dog Texas Pete (Tex).
He is survived by the love of his life Juanita (Nita), family home, his daughters Wendy (Michael) Thiex, Ginger Donovan and son Kirk Jaraczewski, all of Antigo, Wisconsin, two stepsons, Bryan (Blayre) Coates of Port Orchard, Washington and Richard (Ricky) Bassman of Omro, Wisconsin, two sisters, Mary Ann Carr of Racine, Wisconsin and Nancy Rydzik of Waterford, Wisconsin, 9 grandchildren, Katie, Collin, Tyler, Dylan, Marisa, Devyn, Maddy, Maclain and Camryn, and many nieces, nephews and devoted friends.
