George is survived by his beloved son, Dustin Hart, of Roanoke, siblings Suzanne Snead (Mike), Mary Clark of Bridgewater, Jay Hart (Cheryl) of Glen Allen, and John Hart (Lynda) of Roanoke, and special friend and devoted caregiver Mary Prophet of Roanoke. After graduating from Fort Defiance High School, George attended Lord Fairfax Community College. He trained as a stone mason and carpenter which reflected his talent for design. George had a very successful career as owner of B&S Transportation Services in Roanoke. His engaging personality and keen sense of humor endeared him to everyone he met. George had a big, generous heart and was always ready to assist his family and friends with his time and talents. His favorite phrase, “Git ‘er Done”, will always be a poignant reminder of George and his outlook on life.
