A memorial service will be held May 4, 2019, at 10 AM in the Cleburne Masonic Lodge, 111 S. Caddo St., Cleburne. All are welcome.
Preceded in death by his father, Homer Mathis, and mother, Mary.
George became a Mason in Cleburne Lodge, becoming a 32nd degree Mason. He was also a member of the Scottish Rite and a Noble in Karem Shrine. He was a member of the Kopperl Lodge and was Worthy Master. Also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Whitney and Cleburne, serving as Worthy Patron. These organizations were very important to him, and he contributed to them until the last.
He was born in George's Creek, but lived most of his life in Cleburne, Texas, graduating from Cleburne High School. He went to work for the Santa Fe Railroad, BNSF and was a Railroad engineer. He retired in 2003 after 42 years. He enjoyed playing golf, but his love was baseball. He told stories of coaching the youngsters of Cleburne many years ago, and how much he enjoyed it.
He was a complex man and anyone who knew him will never forget him. If he had an opinion about something, you were going to know it. Everyone has stories to tell about George and we all loved him.
