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.

tion of Hustad Funeral Home,
