Later studies prepared him for a career in cost accounting in various locations in the United States including employment with Johns Manville and the U. S. Army. Well into retirement, George was an excellent bowler and soft ball player. He
was also known by family, friends and acquaintances as a diehard Cub fan. George is survived by his former wife Patricia Karsten (Arizona), stepchildren Steven Niemeyer (Oregon) and Janet (Charles) SanFilippo (Alabama), 4 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and 3 nieces. George was preceded in death by his parents Fred and Louise Kropp, a brother, Carl Kropp, and 2 sisters, Lillie Dahlquist and Gladys Fish. Graveside services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 2, at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Phoenix.
