For many years he was employed by Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, in Grafton as a machinist. Most recently he did custodial work for the American Legion, Port Washington Post. He enjoyed playing classic rock on his guitar, fishing, spending time outdoors, and talking to his many friends.
He is survived by his son George Ashford (Heather Reis) Housman III of Saukville, Wisconsin, brothers, Norman (Sharon) Housman and Stanley (Brenda) Housman, both of Connersville, Indiana, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
