George Washington Sisk Jr. took his first breath on December 24, 1946, in Widener, AR. He was born to George Washington Sisk, Sr. and Elizabeth William Sisk of Forrest City, AR. He confessed his life to Christ at an early age at this very same church under Reverend O.D. Washington. He graduated from Lincoln High School in Forest City, AR in 1965. He was drafted in the United States Army and served from 1966 -1968. After being injured he was released with an honorable discharge. He continued to further his education by attending Crowley Ridge Technical Institute where he received his carpentry certification and CDL licenses for truck driving. George also studied to become a Worshipful Master in the Masonic Lodge in 1986. This is part of the reason he was known as such a great teacher. You could talk to him about a vast array of topics and loved to share his knowledge, especially with all his children whom he loved dearly. Benyahmin was known for his skills in his two favorite pastimes, playing pool and chess. You could also find him under the hood of a car, reading an interesting book or out fishing on his boat. George was preceded in death by his parents George, Sisk, Sr. and Elizabeth Sisk; his siblings Hattie Simmons and Arnell Simmons; nephew John Terrell “Mack” Simmons; granddaughter ShaMiya Pearson, and stepson Calvin Smith.
