The Dixie Construction family lost a true force this past Sunday, our beloved Dad, George Vulevich, Jr.
He was a father to 6 and devoted husband of 53 years, an adored son and brother, a musician, an entertainer, a larger than life personality who was loved by so many. In fact, he’s the reason for our name Dixie Construction. Over 70 years ago, George Sr. opened Dixieland Auto Sales on Canal Street. When he passed, our dad George Jr. took over. He ran Dixieland for over 40 years and became known to many as the “Governor” of Canal Street. Then came George III - he didn’t have the drive for the auto business, but instead loved construction. So when George III started his own business, to honor the family tradition, he named it Dixie Construction.
Today all 6 of his kids did the Annual NOAC Turkey Day race. A race he did for so many years that we joined him in countless times, becoming a Thanksgiving tradition.
We’re so thankful today and always, for all the good times, the laughter, the songs, the love and most of all the memories. We love you Dad. Cheers to the Governor🥃
