Mendes, George "Cookie" H, Sr. of Plymouth died May 7, 2023 at the age of 83.  Beloved Dad to Debra Mendes-Arey and her husband Jeffrey Arey of Marshfield and George "Chip" Mendes, II of Kingston.  Son of the late Diana (Pina) Mendes of Scituate and the late Adelino Mendes of New Bedford.  Dear Brother of Lonnie Mendes and the late Lawrence Mendes both of Pawtucket, RI.  Devoted Grandfather to Mya Arey and Jadon Arey from Marshfield and Sabella Mendes of Kingston. Lovingly raised by Lillian Pina and the late William "Honey" Pina of Scituate. Dear friend and former husband of Priscilla (Lopes) Roderick and many nieces and nephews.

George was affectionately known to everyone as Cookie.  He was born and raised in Scituate, MA and was a Sergeant in the Army where he was an expert Marksman.  After the Army he began his construction career for the Town of Marshfield and then he owned and operated his own construction company, GH Mendes Contracting and GD Corporation.

Cookie was a hardworking man that loved what he did.  There was never a morning that he wasn't excited to get into his Excavator.  His grandchildren meant the world to him, and he loved to spoil them. Cookie was a selfless man that always did for others before he did for himself and never asked for anything in return.  His big smile and infectious laugh will be remembered by all that knew him.
