| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 <<< George Anthony Torres Jr. (Georgie), 60, of Lake Havasu City passed away suddenly Oct. 29, 2016. Georgie was born in Norwalk, California on Feb. 13, 1956. He moved with his parents to Phoenix when he was three years old. Georgie was preceded in death by his parents George and Lupe and his brother Danny. Georgie graduated from Phoenix Union High School where he acquired his knowledge in upholstery in the vocational program. He moved to Lake Havasu City in 1992, where he later started his own business, “GT Interiors,” and was a master upholsterer. Georgie had so much charisma and was always the life of family gatherings and parties. He had many close friends and business friends, but his best friend was his barbecue. His favorite food was extra hot Mexican food. He loved to barbecue, but his favorite cook was Mother Nature (Mom). Those two took hot food to a new level. He’s been known to be stubborn on the outside, but soft, squishy, and lovable on the inside. You knew you were loved by him if he gave you a nickname. Georgie is survived by his son George Anthony III (Gino), daughter Laura Nicole Torres (Lori), wife, stepson CC; sister and brother-in- law Carol and Don Clapsaddle, eight grandchildren, seven great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other family members and friends. He was beloved by many and will be sorely missed. A memorial service is at 10 a.m. Nov. 19 at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home Chapel, 21 Riviera Blvd. A celebration of life will follow at George’s shop at 2675 Kiowa Blvd. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
