George Dennis Cushing,75, of Whitefield, Maine died on Nov. 29, 2025 at Maine General Hospital in Augusta, Maine.  

George was born in Damariscotta, Maine on Dec. 20, 1949, to Douglas and Joan Cushing. He grew up in Bristol with his parents and sister, Marinette. He attended local schools and graduated from Lincoln Academy. He attended SMVTI and earned an associate’s degree in oceanography. He served honorably in the United States Navy from 1971-1973. 

George loved the ocean and earned his living as a lobsterman until retiring in his early ’70s. He enjoyed all things outdoors; fishing, archery, snowmobiling, motorcycle riding, four-wheeling, and traveling, but his passion was all things hunting! He loved a good moose hunt with his buddies, and his favoritehunt waselk with his friend Mike in Arizona.  

George is survived by his sister, Mary J. Pinkham (Duane), niece Kristi Poole-Peaslee (Joel) and his dog Chloe, as well as several cousins.   

He was predeceased by his parents, Doug and Joan (Joanne) Cushing.  

He had many great friends and loves throughout his life. Special thanks to lifelong friends, Brian and Linda Sawyer and Donald Wotton for being there in the good times and the hard times. We are also grateful to Laura Hughes and Frank and Mabe Small for their care and kindness.  

At George’s request, there will not be a funeral. Friends and family will be invited to a graveside service to honor George in the spring.
