George V Sawyer

It is with heavy heart that we announce that George V Sawyer lost his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s on 2/16/2020. He was 87 years old.  He was born in Franklin Massachusetts on Dec 27,1932 to Thelma and Forrest Sawyer. He was one of 4 boys Palmer, Paul, Allen and 4 girls Joyce, Gail, Linda and Jean. He spent much of his younger years working on his Grampa Miller and Uncle George's farm. He joined the US Air Force in 1954, he proudly served his country for 10 years. He was transferred to Dover AFB where he met his loving and devoted wife of 63 years Virginia E Carter who cared for him until the very end. 
After leaving the Air Force he joined Virginia's father in the family business at Bucks Barber Shop. After Buck retired, George and Virginia took over the barbershop and own it still today. He is survived by his wife, Virginia; son Danny Sawyer and his wife Denise; daughter Cheryl and her husband Robert Garrett; a daughter Jacqueline and her partner Wesley Meredith, 8 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren, sister-in-law Shirley and her husband Walter Wharton, Rebecca and her husband Theodore Enss, Brenda and her husband Andrew Polasko along with many nieces and nephews.

He was one of the kindest and most caring people and was loved by all who knew him. He was a very loving father and his children admired him dearly. Even though Alzheimers robbed George of so many things one thing it couldn't take away was his love of working in his yard and caring for his flower beds. Heaven has gained not only an angel but, a new gardener, the grasses and flowers will be more lush and greener than ever.
