George McCarron of Haverhill, MA, died peacefully on April 1, 2021 after a brief illness. George was a Korean War Veteran and an active member of the American Legion, Veterans Club, Amvets and Veterans of Foreign Wars. He was a talented craftsman who worked as a bricklayer and was the man people turned to for questions of gardening, weather, and nature, and he could fix anything. If he didn’t know the answer to your question, he would search until he did. He loved to learn new things and often amazed his family with his excellent memory.

George was the last of ten children born to Marion and Peter McCarron and spent his early life in Merrimac, MA, later moving to Kingston, NH, with his wife and children.

After retiring, George got his private pilot’s license and loved flying his Cessna up and down the east coast. He was an avid pool player and shared his passion by teaching younger players. He was lucky at cards, often winning at poker and 45’s. He enjoyed music, travel, birdwatching, fishing and hunting. He loved snuggling up with his grandson to watch history and nature programs. He was often described as dapper dresser and took pride in always looking his best.

George is survived by his wife, Carol; daughters, Susan and Chris; grandson, Nate, and several generations of nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held in June - details will follow in May. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the High Pointe House in Haverhill, MA.
