It is with great sadness that the Fairbanks family shares the loss of the esteemed George A. Fairbanks III of Fairhaven, MA on April 15, 2024. George was born in Cambridge, MA in 1938 and was raised in Taunton, MA as the oldest son of George A. Fairbanks Jr. and Mary Fairbanks.
He was a long-time resident of Raynham, MA, Jackson, NH and Fairhaven, MA. George originally taught Physics at Northeastern University and then obtained his Juris Doctorate from Suffolk University and had a long-time law practice in Taunton, New Bedford, Hyannis MA and Jackson, NH.

He is predeceased by his parents and 3 brothers Doug, Albert, and Harold. George’s love of life, dedication and love for his family will be greatly missed by his wife Frances Fairbanks; his 3 children Clarisse Fairbanks, Camille Babanikas and Larry Fairbanks; their spouses and partners William Lake, Gus Babanikas and Robin Fairbanks; 9 grandchildren Nathan, Abigail, Gabriella, Sophie, Michael, Katie, Nicky, Fiona and Zoe; two siblings Paul Fairbanks and Rosemary Gary; and the many family, friends, colleagues and students George greatly influenced and impacted with his knowledge, kindness and humor.
