He was a graduate of St. Mary’s Grammar School, Coyle High School and attended Williams College and the University of Wisconsin. George enjoyed being on the water and was a member of the Fall River Power Squadron and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.  He loved to go camping, vacationing in Florida and enjoyed cruising, including traversing the Panama Canal.

He is survived by his loving companion and caregiver, Joan M. (Helger) Rocha, and his former wife, Dorothy (Kerrigan) Biltcliffe; two sons, David A. Biltcliffe and his wife Mary L. Biltcliffe and G. Stephen Biltcliffe; grandchildren, Joshua (wife Kate) Matthew (wife Pam), Mark (wife Sarah), Samantha and Sarah; two brothers, Kenneth Biltcliffe (wife Becky) and Michael Biltcliffe (wife Jeanne); great-grandchildren, Ava, Finn, Kianna, Ellie, Willa, Daniel and Tom; his companion's sons, Kevin Rocha and Stephen Rocha (wife Corrine); step-grandchildren, Caitlyn and Michelle; and step-great-grandchildren, Kaiden, Rowan and Kylie.
