George Mcgee

George H. McGee, 90, passed away on July 10, 2014 in Tucson, AZ. He was born on 14 May 1924 in Dorchester, MA, to Joseph and Florence McGee. His father, mother, and brother Joseph, preceded him in death. Seven children survive him. They are Florence, Daniel, Ann, Glenn, and Kathleen of Tucson, AZ., as well as Joanne and George McGee of Methuen, MA. He is also survived by four grandchildren. He served in the Army during WWII, in Europe, and returned stateside in 1946 - then joined the 360th Harbor Craft Company rescue boat unit until his discharge in 1950. He enlisted in the United States Air Force serving until his retirement in 1963. Returning to Boston, he worked for the State of Massachusetts for 20 years finally retiring in Tucson. His most famous sentiment was, “Everybody has their day in the sun!”Humorous, warm and an avid reader, WWII buff, a wonderful father, uncle, and friend as well as a skilled artist and modeler of various aircraft, figurines, battle ships and vehicles. Feeling the desire to provide for the needs of others he financially supported many children’s charities while freely sharing with those around him, guidance and support. His loss is immeasurable, not only from the personal but historical perspective. Memorial services will be held in Boston, MA and Tucson, AZ in the next few weeks.
