George Hennessey passed away on December 29, 2010 at home in Tucson. George was born in North Bend, Oregon on July 19, 1941, he grew up in Chino Valley and Prescott, Arizona. He graduated from Prescott High School in 1959. He graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1964 and lived in the Flagstaff Community until 1967. In 1966, George accepted a job with All-American Distributing Company. All-American later became Golden Eagle Distributors, Inc., where George spent the next 40 years helping to build the Budweiser brand in Arizona. His humor and zest for life were infectious and he was the "BUD MAN" in the truest sense. He had an incredible love for his family and his friends. George spent endless years building strong relationships that endured all around Arizona. George was an avid hunter and passed his knowledge and love for hunting onto his sons and grandchildren. However, what George might best be known for was his love and endless promotion of the Budweiser Clydesdales. Over the years, George essentially became a member of the Clydesdale hitch, traveling and reveling in the majesty of Anheuser-Busch's greatest ambassadors. The single most important accomplishment was the family that he built with his wife, Barbara Jo "BJ". George is survived by his wife, BJ; their children, Ray, Archie (Michelle), April (Toby) Hill and his greatest joy in life was his grandchildren, George, Christopher, Summer, and Cyrcee. He will be truly missed by his sister-in-law, Vivian; his "daughter", Jenni Spikey; many nephews and nieces and too many other people to mention. There is no memorial or burial services planned. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in George's memory to The Wings Like Eagles Foundation, P.O. Box 27506 Tucson, AZ 85726 www.twle.org (520) 882-1594.
