George Everett Philpott August 18, 1927—May 10, 2015 George Philpott passed away at the age of 87 years 9 months in the early morning hours on May 10, 2015 at the Hampton at Salm- on Creek in Vancouver, Washing- ton. Wife Dorothy, daughter Can- dice Burck, son Paul and his wife Mary were at his side. The second of four children, he was born to Everett N. and Ger- trude W. (Simpson) Philpott on August 18, 1927 in Columbus, Montana. There, with his parents and siblings (Joan, Betty, and Robert) he lived gaining knowl- edge, and love for mechanics, the outdoors, and animals. At an early age he could rope and ride a horse, which he used to ride back and forth to school. When he was fi fteen, after the death of a close friend, his family moved to Portland, Oregon where he enrolled at Benson Polytechnic High School, and within a short time began working in the Swan Island Shipyards supervising women welders. Before he was 18 years old, George talked his par- ents into letting him join the Navy during WWII. He served on the USS Miami as a gunner’s mate and reached the rank of GM3. In 1948 he returned to Portland where he met his fi rst wife Glad- ys Beatrice Skjei. He had driven a friend out to a fi lbert orchard and there was Gladys sitting in one of the trees. On January 16, 1951 George and Gladys were married and took up residence in North Portland near close friends and family where they raised three children Paul Everett, Patrick Ed- ward, and Candice Joy. George accepted employment with logging equipment manu- facturer Skookum Co. Inc., in St. Johns where he worked as a high- ly respected hydraulic mechanic and millwright for 25 years. He traveled the expanse of the Pacif- ic Northwest and Alaska before Skookum’s selling and St. Johns closure. After 40 years of marriage Glad- ys passed away in her sleep. In 1993 he met Dorothy June Wil- liams and they were married for 22 years. George loved people, working with his hands, reading (especial- ly about the old Wild West, poli- tics and history—which he loved to debate about), working on cars, hunting and fi shing, mining, mak- ing cinnamon rolls and lefse. He was a 32nd degree mason in the Shriners and a proud member of the American Legion, Boiler Mak- ers Union, Good Sam, VFW and Gold Prospectors Association. He is survived by his wife Dor- othy, sons Paul (Mary) and Patrick (Susan), daughter Candice (Doug), step-sons Bruce (Dawn) and Ricky (Mary) Williams and step-daugh- ter Tammy Nelson, numerous grandchildren and great-grand- children, a brother Robert C. Phil- pott, plus a multitude of family and close friends. Arrangements under the direc- tion of Hustad Funeral Home, Portland, OR.
