Hospital - Laconia after a period of failing health. He was born on July 28,

1935 in East Andover, the son of William J. and Violet E. (Small) Miller Jr..

George grew up in East Andover and graduated from Andover High School

At home, George utilized his carpentry skills doing home

improvement projects and took great pride in his garden. He also

enjoyed making homemade donuts, bread, and baked beans.

George loved country music and one of his favorite past times was playing

guitar. In the 70’s, George was a square dance caller and formed a band,

George was a story-teller extraordinaire and enjoyed sharing his many

stories with family and friends. He also enjoyed playing bingo and

vacationing in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. On occasion, he enjoyed trying

his luck at the casinos.

George enjoyed watching old westerns and documentaries on the Civil War

and World War II. He was an avid Boston Red Sox and New England

Patriots fan and looked forward to watching the games with family on

weekends.

Most of all, George loved playing cribbage, win or lose, and looked forward

to weekly games with his friend Bob.



George’s professional career included working as a CNA at Dartmouth-

Hitchcock Medical Center in Hanover and also at the Merrimack County

Nursing Home in Boscawen. He and his wife also operated a shared home
