George was born October 31, 1936 in Weldon, the son of Oscar and Margie Lyons Massey. He married Lynne Funk on February 8, 1991 in Decatur.

He is survived by his wife, Lynne Massey of Decatur; 4 children, Tom (Kim Gaff) Massey of Clinton; Jeff Massey of Arkansas; Tina Massey of Clinton; Scott (Dawn) Massey of Clinton; stepson, Rob (Lisa) Funk of Arthur; 5 brothers; 1 sister; 7 grandchildren; and 4 great grandchildren.

George retired from Decatur Firestone after 31 years, where he was a member of United Rubber Workers Local #713.  He was also a member of Decatur Moose Club.

George enjoyed hunting, shooting, fishing, and watching tractor pulls (especially the Old John Deer tractors). His grandchildren and great grandchildren were his pride and joy and he cherished every moment that he was able to spend with them.

The family would like to thank Liberty Village in Clinton, Harbor Light Hospice, and especially the 5 ^th Floor Cardiac Care nurses at Decatur Memorial Hospital for going above and beyond caring for our dad.
