George was born on Dec. 11, 1926, in Sioux City, to the late Edward and Hazel Wall. George was a veteran of the U.S. Army. George lived a full and fruitful life. After starting as a baker's assistant he entered the U.S. Army at the end of World War II. Upon his release from the military, he joined the ranks of the United States Postal Workers and later took early retirement to start a second career in the insurance business until full retirement.

Throughout his life he was involved in music and ministry. He sang lead in a gospel quartet for many years and spent much of his musical life singing on local northwestern Iowa radio as well as regional and national television broadcasts. But most notably, he shared the stage with his sweetheart, Loraine, of nearly 63 years. Through the years, George and Loraine sang together at hundreds of weddings, funerals and special occasions. He loved his wife and served her through her final days before moving to Franklin in 2011. He was an advisory board member at Generations Church pastored by his son, Kraig Wall. George's family and faith were the center of his life. He loved the Lord and read the Word daily.

He is survived by his sons, Kraig E. (LaSandra) Wall and Gregory G. (Janet) Wall; daughter, Kimberly A. (George) Skipper; brother, Warren (Betty) Wall; grandchildren, Ariel R. (Jeremy) Brasher, Nathan Wall, Brandon (Jessica) Wall, Ciana (Jeff) Cloud, Britton (Ashley) Wall, Jordan (Megan) Wall, Alexandria (Kolby) Kissinger, George Sawyer Skipper, and Griffin Skipper; and eight great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Loraine E. Wall.

His grandsons will serve as pallbearers.
