George was born on July 22, 1942 in Boston a son of the late George L. and Marion (McGregor) Shutt.

He graduated from Saint Patrick High School and Burdett College in Boston. He was a Watertown fireman for twelve years and then ventured into business for himself in construction.

Shutt (Michelle) of Hudson; his three grandchildren, McKayla, Riley and Nathan; his siblings, Mary Smith of Forestburg, Texas, Virginia Bryant (Stephen) of Brewster, Paul Shutt of Watertown; his step-children, Danielle Ramsey of Wareham and Michelle MacLean of Stoneham and nieces and nephews.
