GEORGE Working life.
After leaving school at All Saints and then at St Margaret's, at the age of fourteen he started work for H E George Butchers, who had a shop at the bottom of the Millfleet, King's Lynn, he was often seen riding the trade bike as he made deliveries round the town. After more than a year his father ________ got him work on the Docks.
DOCKS WORK: George started temporary work in April 1963 with the NDLB and was made permanent in May 1964. After the Devlin report of 1967, the NDLB Scheme ended in 1989. George completed 22 years working for NDLB before transferring to direct employment by BTDB who then took up the name of Associated British Ports (ABP). George then worked for ABP King's Lynn till 04/05/2001 as a specialised plant operator, handling cargo in and out of the various warehouses.

After a few months George had done all the jobs at home and decided to look around to see if he could find another job. A friend told him he understood one of the timber firms on the docks was looking for someone to work in the timber yard. He applied for the job and started with Pattrick & Thompsons Ltd on 2nd April 2002. He enjoyed being back at work and was really pleased to be working on the dock once again. George continued working with P&T till the end, unfortunately health issues and lengthy treatment did not allow him to return to work again, in spite of telling some of his work colleagues he hoped to return after Christmas 2016.
George managed to clock up a further 14 years and 9 months service with Pattrick & Thompsons, taking him to a total of 52 years and 9 months working on the docks, something he was very proud of.
SPORT.
George loved his sport. It all started with table tennis and with cricket, as well as dominoes and crib but football was always a great love too. He was a goal keeper, always up there with the best teams in the King's Lynn area. Bowls also became a favourite pastime, he was known at bowls for firing, playing with a heavy throw and clearing the decks as he did so. He represented Norfolk in his time.
