Besides his family, a couple of the things George loved were those years spent in Florida and, in his younger years, taking flying lessons and getting his solo pilots license to fly small planes. In addition to his parents, George was preceded in death by his brothers Charles and Warner Sidner, his sisters Donna Lou Fleming, Linda Sidner and Irene Royer and his granddaughter Samantha McCarthy.
