Born March 21, 1936
Died October 16, 2024, and immediately arrived in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
88 years old
Known as Dubby, Dad and PaPa to his family and friends.
He was survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Eileen, and 6 children Kimberly (David) Buck, Ramona (Brett) Ardizone, Kathy (Dan) Johnstone, Darcey (Floyd) Ansley, Jody (Naomi) Rodgers, and Stacey Steele. He was also survived by 30 grandchildren and many great grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, his 2 sons, Wiley Rodgers and Franklin (Barbara) Shuford, and other members of his immediate family.
Dubby graduated from Vigor High School in 1953 and then later received a Civil Engineering degree from University of South Alabama. He worked at Alabama Power before going to work with the Corps of Engineers, retiring from the Corps after 41 years of service. Dubby loved the game of golf, but not as much as he loved his "sweet treats" and his adored dog, Abbee! He was a gentle and kindhearted Dad and PaPa and his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren loved him dearly. Dubby and Eileen enjoyed many years raising and loving their "His, Hers, and Ours" family while staying devoted to one another into their golden years. During the last several years, as life has changed, they each had the privilege of taking care of one another in sickness and in health. Now, our gentle and kind Dubby, Dad, and PaPa celebrates eternal life in the presence of Jesus and alongside his sweet sons.

So sorry to hear of George's passing. My condolences and prayers are with Eileen and all of their family members.
I attended the services for George today and it was a beautiful service. My heart goes out to Eileen and their extended family. I have known Eileen for many years.
