Mr. George A. Emerson, 47, died Tuesday, June 1, 2010, at his home on Leavitt Road following a battle with cancer.

Born on November 30, 1962, in Concord, Mr. Emerson was the son of Daniel and Amy (Johnson) Emerson.

He worked at lumber yards most of his life, beginning at Timco until its closing in 2003.  Following this he worked at Fernald Lumber Mill and then Barton’s in Barnstead until 2009.

George was an avid outdoorsman.  He enjoyed hunting, ice fishing with his brother-in-law, Mike, and freshwater fishing.  This was sport for George as well as a food supply, since he wasted nothing that was caught.  This past winter George and his brother Tom enjoyed ice fishing and feeding the bald eagles at the pond.  They would toss the fish a few hundred feet and watch as the eagle swooped down and took the catch back to the nest.

George also loved playing horseshoes with friends and coon hunting with his new Little Ann.  He will be missed by Speedy, his friend and companion throughout his illness.

George was predeceased by his mother and is survived by his father, Daniel of Barnstead.  He will be greatly missed by all of his family members including his two sons, George Emerson, Jr. of Laconia, and Michael Emerson of Lebanon, Oregon; 2 grandsons, Keegan of Laconia and Dominick of Lebanon, Oregon; his siblings and their spouses, Earl Warren of Manchester, Walter and Betty Warren of Clyde, NC, James Wesson of Pittsfield, Fred Emerson of Barnstead, Roy and Rosanne Emerson of Deering, Thomas Emerson of Pittsfield, Danny and Ruth Emerson, Jr. of Gilmanton, Hazel Emerson of Clearwater, FL, and Amy and Mike Eastman of Pittsfield.
