George died at his home on Tapsell Rd, surrounded by whānau, about 11am on Monday.
Whānau spokesman Willie Te Aho said George was a man who walked his talk when it came to being a good Christian and upholding his Māori values. That augured well in terms of the work he did in the community, Te Aho said.
