George Grossi Obituary
They made their home on his Novato ranch, where they raised their three children together. He was a devoted husband and father that valued his family above all else. George was also a dedicated dairy farmer and active member of the Marin County agriculture community throughout his life. He was honored in 2006, along with his brother Jim, as a lifetime member of the Marin County Farm Bureau. George was blessed to live 93+ joyful years near his family and loved ones. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, fishing and just walking (He never used the word hiking) on his beloved land.
He is survived by his wife, Mary; son George D. (Annette) Grossi; daughter Carol (Rich) Ryan; daughter Shirley (Robin) Nosecchi; nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. George was preceded in death by his siblings, Eda Spaletta, Domingo Grossi, Elsie Grossi, Lilly McWhorter, James Grossi, Henry Grossi, Virginia Gallagher, Mary Rogers, Alfred Grossi, and Helen Bianchi.

I valued my relationship with George very much. I truly considered George a mentor and a friend. All the fun things I did with George over the years really to many to count. Things like hunting deer, ducks, quail, going to lunch in Novato at different restaurants over the years especially Baseharts, dinners with George and Mary at San Rafael Joes. Great friend RIP. My heart goes out to all of his family.

I'm so sorry for your loss

Our thoughts and sympathies are with the Grossi family. George was the salt of the earth. I first met George in 1971 when he delivered top soil from the ranch to my home. Seeing him over the years, from time to time, he always had time to chat and was engaging and friendly. Sorry for your loss...
