George Paul Sobolik was born on February 08, 1945, in Cresco, IA, to Edward and Olivia (Burgart) Sobolik. He graduated from Crestwood High School in 1963. On June 14, 1975, he married Margaret Ferrie; to this union was born one child, Rodney. While raising his kids, he worked as a school custodian and always enjoyed working with the kids at Crestwood and Notre Dame Catholic schools. The kids who knew him, would always greet him with “Hey, George!”  During his free time, he enjoyed woodworking, fishing, and putting puzzles together. George kept busy with his involvement in a bowling league and being a member in the Knights of Columbus. His all-time favorite pastime was dancing with his sweetheart; any chance they could get, they would go out and dance together for hours.
