George James Boe, the son of Harold and Beverly Boe, was born June 6, 1962 in Ada, MN. As a child he grew up and attended school in Gary, MN. After graduating with the class of 1981, George worked on area farms and began working construction. He was employed with Meineke-Johnson Construction Company for several years before starting his own company. George has owned and operated G B Construction Company, doing concrete and building projects for nearly 15 years. He also kept busy driving beet truck and helping on the family farm whenever possible.
George loved the outdoors, especially 4-wheeling, tubing, and deer hunting each year. He also enjoyed riding horses. He cherished the relationship he was able to have with his grandson, Ethan, and a special little buddy, "Henry." Simply put, George just liked spending time with friends. His wonderful sense of humor and heart of gold were treasured by all who knew him.
