George E. Stern

George E. Stern at 2:14 on March 9th, 2010 left his loved ones here and went to heaven to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just as we his loved ones said goodbye and watched him fade out of our sight, those waiting to see him on the other side raised their voices with "Here he comes!" We will miss him beyond words yet we are glad that eventually we will all be together again forever. George and Janice Stern were given the gift of six sons. They were always the joy of his life. He leaves behind his most beloved six sons: George A.(Drew) Stern, Joseph M. Stern, David M. Stern, Samuel H. Stern, Daniel Z.Stern and John L. Stern. George E. Stern also leaves behind his beloved father George Stern and stepmother Pat Stern. He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Allison Stern and George (Ethan) Stern from his eldest son Drew and his wife Jess Stern. George also leaves behind his beloved sister, Marjorie Alley and her husband Jim. He leaves his beloved brother, Rick Stern and his wife Chris. He also leaves behind his nephews Jake Stern, Luke Stern, Tim Alley, Dan Alley, and nieces Betsy Alley, Morgan McClure, Courtney McClure, their mom Jackie McClure and their dad Scott McClure. George moved to Bowie when he was seven years old. He graduated from Bowie High School and then went on to earn his B.S. degree in Business and Accounting at the University of Maryland in College Park. He graduated from Marshall University in West Virginia. George grew up in Bowie and he loved to attend the Bowie High School reunions so he could hook up with his friends. No matter where he lived he always worked his vacation around it. For a period of time he owned his own antique shop "One and Only's" along with the other antique shops in the middle of 301 which is now a WAWA. For 12 years George lived and worked for FEDEX in the quiet town of Huntingburg, Indiana. George loved his country life and friends in this southern part of Indiana. He drove the FEDEX truck along the Louisville, KY route that returned back to Indianapolis, Indiana. He loved talking to his fellow drivers and friends on the road in those wee hours of the night into morning. George also enjoyed his woodworking and had many of his restored antique furniture in the Main Street shops of downtown Huntingburg. George said that he lived a good life and he had learned all that he could from this life. He said he was ready to experience the next life. And so he is.
