George J. Heald

January 22, 1956 - October 21, 2016

COLEBROOK – George J. Heald, 60, of Colebrook, died tragically on Friday afternoon, Oct. 21, 2016, in Dixville, as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. George was born in Exeter, NH, on Jan. 22, 1956, a son to George G. and Elsie (Currier) Heald. He was a 1974 graduate of Colebrook Academy. Following high school, George attended the Limerick School in Maine where he attained his certification as an aircraft mechanic. He then worked for short time at the Lebanon Airport in Lebanon, NH, and then he enlisted in the U.S. Army and worked as an aircraft mechanic. After his military service, George returned to the north country and worked at several different jobs, including for a time at Campbell Stationery, and the Bose sound factory. He later worked for many years as a machine operator at the Beecher Falls Division of Ethan Allen. Upon being laid off from there, he returned to school at the White Mountain Community College and was proud to have earned an associate’s degree as a diesel mechanic. For the past few months, he had been working on various construction crews in the area. He was a lover of the outdoors, and loved to ride his motorcycle, go bow hunting and kayaking, and will be remembered by all as quite the “collector.” George was an avid reader and he also loved to dance. He enjoyed time with his friends, and didn’t have an enemy in the world. George is survived by his three sons, George J. Heald II and wife Amanda of Colebrook; Matthew Heald and wife Ann of Ashland, Va., and Tyler Heald of Breckenridge, Colo.; his father, George G. Heald of Colebrook; and his brother, Charles R. Heald of Derry, NH. He is predeceased by his mother, Elsie Heald in 2003. The family will hold a celebration of George’s life on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2016, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Cedar Lounge in Colebrook and invite his many friends to join them. Photos to share and post, as well as finger-foods to share will be welcomed. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook.
