In addition to his wife and mother he is survived by his daughter Leslie Wachter of Frederick, and son, Scott Sanner and wife Sonia of Canberra, Australia. He is survived by two grandchildren, Jakob Wachter and Noah Sanner that were so special and dear to his heart. He is also survived by two brothers, Theodore Sanner of Orlando, Florida and wife Shelly and John Sanner of Portsmouth, New Hampshire and wife Michele and many nieces and nephews. His passing leaves much sorrow in the hearts of his family and many, many friends. He was always willing to help others whenever the need arose.

Mrs. Sanner, My name is Maryann and I work at Central Penn Sporting Clays in PA where George would come to shoot. He will always be the face I will think of when hearing the phrase southern gentleman. George has always been so gentle and kind whenever we spoke, consistently positive and grateful no matter how bad a score he shot. We will miss him very much. Please accept our deepest condolences.

I worked with George in the phone company on and off for 25 years. He was a dedicated and very talented individual, able to learn many facets of a complex company. Through the years we shot together, hunted together and just plain enjoyed time talking ( George was great at that :) Last we spoke was at BOJC fishing camp for boys. I missed him there this year and prayed all was well. The world has lost a bit of brightness.
Blessings and Peace to all who loved and will miss him.

I KNEW GEORGE FOR 45 YEARS, MOST OF THAT TIME AS CO-WORKERS AT THE PHONE COMPANY, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER CARPOOLING WITH GEORGE TO THE LAPLATA CROSSBAR CONVERSION & HIS DRIVING HOME ON THE CAPITAL BELTWAY DURING FRIDAY EVENING RUSH HOUR, VIN DIESEL WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD. WHENEVER I SPOKE WITH GEORGE HE WOULD ALWAYS ASK ABOUT MUTUAL FRIENDS OR FAMILY AND WITHOUT FAIL I WOULD GET AN UPDATE ON HIS FAMILY. GEORGE'S PASSING WILL LEAVE AN ENORMOUS VACUMN WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND I WILL SORELY MISS HIM.
