Civic leader, and owner of Murdale True Value for over 30 years, George Sheffer passed away in his sleep this past Friday night. I got to know George first as a lay minister at St. Francis Xavier church where he was active as a lector and eucharistic minister and later when he started the paw painting program through the Carbondale Chamber of Commerce. In more recent years, he had acted in an advisory capacity to the city, drawing on his decades of business experience.
I last saw George at reconciliation/confession during Holy Week before and he looked in good health and spirits then. A friend sawhe and Diane, his wife for those who do not know the family, during mass on the 19th and said he looked fine as well.
