George Joseph Powasnick
George Joseph Powasnick, of League City, Texas, passed away on Thursday, December 4, 2025 in Nassau Bay, Texas at the age of 89. George was born on August 9, 1936 in Bayonne, New Jersey to Michael and Nora Powasnick.
George was raised in the northeast until his pre-teen years when he and his father moved to Texas shortly after the passing of George’s mother. His sister Regina (Jean) offered to help raise Nora (Aunt Nonie) & George, since they were still so young. Jean had recently married James Kroll, moving them to Texas. After High School, George joined the U.S. Airforce, where eventually he met his wife, Doris Porter of Charleston, South Carolina. They settled in Texas where together they raised 4 beautiful and successful children: Sue, George Jr., Nancy and Gregory.
His pride and love was non-other than his family. His second love was his work. But he did not stop there. He was filled with giving and supporting of his friends and colleagues. One of his mottos: Work to make a difference and give everything that you can to possibly help others. He strived in his commitments in family, friends and even those that were in need or struggling. He always felt that he could lend a hand to help anyone. His interest groups included family gatherings, work gatherings, friends, dancing, golf, gambling, and eating southern food. He also loved fishing, hunting, sharing memories, sharing life lessons, photography and traveling. He danced his way around the Clear Lake area, getting to know many wonderful friends.

George Sr. was always ready to play golf, dance, and meet new people. I met George over 33 years ago when I moved back to Texas, my home state. Sending condolences to the entire family and extended family.

George Senior, is how I knew him most of the time. When you have two George’s in the family, you gotta distinguish which one you are talking about to.
He was a fun guy that truly loved life and his family. I loved it when he reminisced about his wife. His smile was huge, his eyes twinkled, and you could almost imagine how he was feeling. And he was proud of everyone in his family. We will miss him and his picture taking at family gatherings. 💕
George was a Sweet happy man. He was Always smiling and loved conversation. He was Always wanting to go to the senior center and visit and mingle. We were happy to know him and his son and daughter. They are wonderful neighbors.
