George Udell Sharp

One of the world's most loving men passed away on Thursday, May 30. Surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, George Udell Sharp, 94, found his wings and soared. No longer tethered by the pains and cares of this world, he left behind: his wife of 67 years, Roberta; his children Crystal Burnette, Alyce Reuter, Udell (Shelley) Sharp, Barbara (Larry) Dana, William (Eva) Sharp, Paul Sharp and Rene Van Meter.  He was preceded in death by eldest daughter, Martha. George was also survived by 23 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren. On April 29, 1919, he was born in Richland County, Wis. to William Sharp & Barbara Leffler Sharp.  George enlisted in the US Army on August 7, 1941, and was aboard the Empire Javelin when it was sunk in the English Channel.  He served for the duration of WWII, and returned to marry his sweetheart.  Until he moved to Montana in 1965, he was a dairy farmer.  After he quit farming, he worked at the Bouman Post Yard (Lincoln, MT) for many years before moving to Charlo where he worked as the night foreman for the Western Bee factory (Polson, MT).  Upon retirement, he and his wife spent many years "snow-birding" in Arizona, South Carolina and California.  Before finally settling in Helena, he was an avid traveler of the United States visiting 48 of the 50 states. He was known by many and loved by all.  While working at Western Bee, he hired his youngest son, Paul, who continues to say that Dad was the best boss he's ever had.  He continually stood up for the underdog, and was always willing to help or counsel in some way. Paul tries to emulate Dad's style in his own managerial career, as we all attempt to live by the high standards he set.  It is rare to find a man so kind, open hearted, and honest who was always ready with a quirky joke, supportive words and a big hug. Even the most solid rock eventually gets worn down by the ravages of time.  He was our rock; always there, steadfast, unwavering in his support. We'll miss the twinkle in his eyes and his irrepressible mischievous grin.  Love is his legacy. A memorial service celebrating George’s life was held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at the Helena Valley Baptist Church, 1315 Sierra Road East. Military honors followed the memorial service in the circle at Montana State Veterans Cemetery at Fort Harrison; George’s grandson, Joseph Fitzgerald, was a part of the military honor guard.
