Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Friday, Feb. 12, at First Baptist Church, with the Rev. John E. Roberts officiating. Graveside services will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens. George was born in Crook on Aug. 24, 1921, to Truman and Edna Ida Robertson Louderback. He attended Crook area schools and in 1937 joined the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC's) in Scottsbluff, Neb., where he worked on a variety of projects. After returning to Crook in 1941 he went to San Francisco, Calif., where he was trained in welding and engineering technologies and worked at the Bethlehem Steel Ship Yards. Ships coming back from battle were there for repair before being put back to sea. Many of these ships were in need of new rudders and the shipyard couldn't make these large components without warping them to an unusable level. George developed a process for consistently welding rudders without warping them, allowing the shipyard to catch up with the backlog and get ships back into service. For establishing this process he was awarded the Army-Navy E by General Doolittle. One of his specialties was the relatively new technology of underwater welding. He was lowered over the side of the ship in a brass and canvas suit to weld plates on the ship from the outside. This skill sent him to Pearl Harbor where he helped raise a ship sunk in the main channel. He also helped in other recovery operations at the time. In 1943, he returned to Colorado and married Lillian Louise Harrach on June 24, 1943. He farmed one year in the Padroni area and then moved into Padroni in 1945 and operated a welding shop repairing farm equipment. He also manufactured and sold many farm-related items that he had patented. George and Lillian also raised five children during this time. This was a time the kids often remember as the best of times. In 1965, a fire closed the business in Padroni and it was moved to Sterling and operated as Strong Bond Manufacturing Inc. where he manufactured truck boxes, sweep teeth for hay bucks and energy efficient wood-burning stoves. After selling the business in 1984, he retired. Retirement provided many winters in Aransas Pass, Texas, where they owned a home in a community of many friends. He was an avid fisherman and enjoyed boating in the Gulf of Mexico and surf fishing throughout the area. George is survived by his wife of 67 years, Lillian Louderback; children, Deward Louderback and wife Pat, Truman Louderback and wife Dena, Diana Shockley and husband Richard, Rod Louderback and wife Kathleen and George Louderback Jr.; and sister, Betty Kaberline. Twelve grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren also survive him. George was preceded in death by his parents, Truman and Edna Louderback, and his sister, Mildred Kilgore. Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association.
