George Vincent Butcherine Jr., 71, of Slippery Rock passed away peacefully at his home at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.

He was born in Carbon, Lawrence County, on June 11, 1947, to George Vincent Butcherine Sr. and Vada May Smith Butcherine.

George married Karen Lee Hoffman on May 27, 1967.

George was self-employed in the refrigeration industry and was an HVAC specialist, having owned and operated Butcherine Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating.

George shared his love of Jesus and his God-given talents, love and passion for life with every person who he met or crossed paths with.

His talents and compassion affected everyone at some level.
