George grew up surrounded by a large German family, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins in San Antonio, TX.  His family has lived in San Antonio since the 1840’s.  His mother and father had a dairy in downtown San Antonio.  They later moved to a farm in Calaveras, TX.  During the depression his family left their farm to help his Aunt Mary and Cousin Blanche on their ranch in San Antonio.  The husbands of both Mary and Blanche died and they needed help from George’s father and his four brothers to run the ranch.  His mother and father always went out of their way to help family and friends.  His parents’ selfless actions taught George valuable life lessons.  Family and friends of George could always count on him whenever they needed help. George lost his mother when he was only 13 years old.  Fortunately he had two big sisters, Katie Lou and Fern that adored him and took care of him their whole lives. Having children later in life allowed George to be a favorite uncle to his many nieces and nephews.  After the passing of all his brothers and sisters he continued to enrich the lives of his nieces and nephews and they him. He was met in heaven by the love of his life, his wife of 52 years, Norma Glynn Simmons Feldtman; his Mama and Daddy; two sisters, Ellen Fern Feldtman Fahnert and her husband Henry Fahnert, Katie Lou Feldtman Pepper and her husband C.A.
