George was born Aug. 19, 1923, in Indiana, Pa., to Arley Wilbur Riddle Sr. and Zillah Edith Stuchell. One month after Pearl Harbor, he and his brother volunteered for military service. After 31 months overseas, George was stationed in Fort Worth where he met his future bride, Pat Nimmo. George went to work as a mechanic for his in-laws and eventually owned and operated Riddle Automotive Repair. George was known for "fixin' any vehicle with wheels," his honesty and hard work.
George led a life of service. He could have been a Thessalonian . . . "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands."
George and Pat were charter members of The Richland Hills Church of Christ (The Hills), where he was a deacon for over 25 years. After retiring he volunteered at the Community Outreach Center well into his 80s.
