George was a man of many talents and many stories, many, many stories! Like many Oklahoma men he chased work across the country in his younger years and even found himself in Alaska for a time. George was most well known as a trucker. Under the handle of “Lonesome George” he traversed the USA for Elway, Stilwell Foods, and finally retiring from Wal-Mart when his wife Jeanie’s health began to decline. George and Jeanie owned and operated Philpott Grocery, as well as raising cattle and operating chicken houses with both Simmons and Hudson Farms. Keeping the hay baled always seemed like a never ending task, but he really did enjoy it.
George was preceded in death by his parents, Emert and Mary Philpott, wife Emma Jean aka Jeanie, son, George Philpott, Jr., siblings, Juanita Johnson, Gene Philpott, Mack Philpott, Sue Buckner, Coweta Fixin, Marie Davenport and an infant sister.
