George worked for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for 26 years as an electrician and machinist until his retirement. Prior to that, he worked for the Washington Star newspaper as a stereotyper and electrician. George was a proud union member, serving his local as a shop steward and treasurer. He also served his community at the Bethesda Volunteer Fire Department in the early 1960s.
He is survived by his loving wife, Maureen (nee Clancy) Reynolds; his children, John Reynolds (Valerie), Margaret Reynolds, Patrick Reynolds, and Jessica Reynolds; seven grandchildren, Christopher, Conor, Catharine, Madeleine, Branham, Lilyana and Clancy; and his sister, Kathleen Reynolds.
