George was married for nearly 66 years to the love of his life, Marcella “Marcie” Grace Uhl, nee Barber, who passed away in 2016. George was also predeceased by his parents, George M. and Louise, nee Weinelt, Uhl.
George had a 36-year career as a masonry contractor. Throughout his married life, George traveled extensively in North America and Europe with Marcie, family and friends.

He also was an active participant in the Rotary Club of Belleville, Belleville Chamber of Commerce, Belleville Zoning Board, the Union United Methodist Men, and the T&T golf league. After retiring in Florida, George and Marcie became avid golfers. He loved the performing arts, reading, fishing, and being with family and friends.
George was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He will be sorely missed by his two sons and daughters-in-law, Jeffrey and Linda Uhl and
