George William Boyles

On Nov. 24, 1984, George married Regina “Jeannie” Kohler.

Surviving are his wife of 40 years, Jeannie; his children: Travis (Jennifer) in Alabama and Christy (Marcus) in Arizona, who were from a previous marriage, and Sean (Leah) and Andrew (Natalie), both of Altoona. Also surviving are seven grandchildren: Emily, Sara, Kyle, Hannah, Timothy, Kira and Ayden; five step grandchildren: Alisia, Eddie, Ava, Cierra and Rylan; and three great-grandchildren: Selena, Wesley and Violet.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and a sister, Cheryl.

George was a graduate of Altoona Area High School, Class of 1966. After graduation, he joined the United States Air Force. He attended Wayne Community College, where he earned a degree in welding.

George started his civilian career in Altoona at the Lithcote Co., and later was employed by Conrail and Norfolk

Southern Railroad, from where he retired.

He was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and had served as the financial secretary for their Knights of Columbus. George was a lifetime member of the Bavarian Aid Society, a member of the CVMA 22-4 and former member of the GWRRA motorcycle group.

He enjoyed volunteering at the church’s Lenten Fish Dinners and looked forward to motorcycle adventures with Jeannie, camping, hunting, fishing, golf and bowling, and he was very proud of bowling a perfect 300 game.

George cherished all of the time he spent with his family, especially coaching his children in their sports. Above all, he held dear to his faith and his loving family.
