George D. Imhoff

Born: Dec. 21, 1926

Died:July 3, 2015

George D. Imhoff, 88, of Algonquin, passed away surrounded by his loving family July 3, 2015. He was born December 21, 1926, in Troy Township, Iowa to the late Henry and Ella (Austin) Imhoff.

George's interests were his business and his horses but his true passion was for his family.

George was the beloved husband of Betty Jane Imhoff (nee Tilche). Beloved father of Don (Carol), Cindi, and Randy (Toni) Imhoff. Fond grandfather of Greg (Katie) Imhoff, Zach (Susie) Imhoff, Amy (Joe) Fujino, Michael Imhoff, Lindsey (Mark) Hartwig, and Lauren Spitznas.

Not sure what to say?





Mr. Imhoff, as I knew him, was a true gentleman. He was truly devoted to his family, his business, and his church. He was an instrumental volunteer, in the late 1950s and 1960s, in the construction of the building addition to the Congregational Church of Algonquin IL. He will certainly be missed!
