It is with deep regret that we note the passing of our brother Knight, George McLafferty, who left this life on Saturday, July 6, 2024. Brother George was 81 years of age and was a Third-Degree member of the Knights of Columbus, having joined the order on April 1, 1965.

He had previously worked at Pullman Standard. George was a social member of the Saxonburg VFW Post 683 in Butler. He was an avid Steelers, Pirates and NASCAR fan. He enjoyed vacationing at Marco Island and spending time with his grandsons and extended family. George loved to negotiate a good deal.
Surviving him are his wife, Nancy (Giesler) McLafferty, whom he married Nov. 23, 1963; his daughter, Leann (Doug) Leslie of Valencia; his sister, Mary Tirk of Butler; and two grandsons, Cole and Hunter Leslie.
