George Patrick Tennison, 54, of Leonardtown, MD went to join Nana Marjorie Coyne and Nana Shirley Tennison in heaven on February 13, 2012. Born March 16, 1957 in Leonardtown, MD, he is the son of Jim and Anne Tennison of Leonardtown, MD.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 34 years, Kathleen (Lowmiller) Tennison and his cherished daughter, Kaitlin Noelle Tennison of Leonardtown, MD; his siblings, Jim Jr. of Mechanicsville, MD, Lisa Goddard (Mike) of Rockhill, SC, and Joey of Leonardtown, MD; and many nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his four legged buddies, Mayhem and Khaos.

He is a 1975 graduate of Ryken High School. He spent 20 years as a SMECO employee, working his way from apprentice lineman to foreman. He took great pride in his job and looked forward to going to work every day. He was well respected by his fellow employees and tackled any given job with enthusiasm. George and Kaitlin shared a passion for all sports. Another great pleasure was fishing with his father from a pier in Breton Bay and rock fishing in the Chesapeake Bay with his buddies. George was a faithful member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church for over 25 years. He was an avid gardener; something he and his wife enjoyed together. They also enjoyed traveling, having taken trips to Europe, St. Lucie, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the beaches up and down the east coast.
