George Osterfeld Obituary
George Frederick Osterfeld passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 26, 2020. Beloved husband, father, and grandfather, George will be missed by his wife of almost 64 years, Carol, their six children: Karen Korchmar (Michael), Mike (the late Nancy), Jeff (Sheri), Gary (Michele), Kevin (Debra) and Mary Ann Tillman (Dave), his 17 grandchildren: Erin, Amy, Michael, Will, Joseph, Anne, Rachel, Jake, Andrea, Corie, Andrew, Ben, Paige, Claire, Sloane, Jamie, and Neil, and 8 (and counting) great-grandchildren. George was born in Cincinnati in 1935 and attended Guardian Angels grade school and Purcell High School. Carol Berning and George were married in 1956 at St. Monica's Catholic Church in Clifton. They both lived their entire lives in Cincinnati where they also raised their family. An entrepreneur, George started and operated successful businesses as a custom home builder, computer flooring contractor, and then built and ran the Eastern Hills Indoor Tennis Club, the first indoor racquet club in Cincinnati. He loved cooking (and eating), boats, the Bengals, charming any stranger thrown in his path, and his Goldie Bear. His favorite ritual was daily happy hour with Carol where they tirelessly unraveled the day's events. Mass of Christian Burial at St. Rose Church, 2501 Riverside Dr., on Wednesday, September 30, at 2:30 PM. Visitation will be from 1:30 to 2:30 PM at the Church.

I really enjoyed my conversations with George during his dialysis at the hospital. He was one of my favorite, most interesting patients. I’m so sorry for your loss.

I am Cathy Clark, daughter of the late Stan Clark, (who was partners with him at the tennis club). This association has continued to invisibly connected our families through the years even when we were not actively seeing each other. My memories of "Mr. Osterfeld" are of an energetic man with a lot of determination (his wife, Carol, is a lot like him too). His love of his family was always evident in the ways they interacted together and his 'kids' grew to take on many of his traits. My family and are glad to have had this association. Blessing to all members of the family in these times. -- Back in the days when my Dad was George's partner, George managed the nuts of bolts of the club while my Dad was 'engineering' parties and other marketing and events. A favorite memory is of the Octoberfest party they used to host in the parking lot. When I learned of George's passing, I had a quick fun image of my Dad greeting him just inside the pearly gates dressed in lederhosen, lifting a beer stein, wearing a huge smile and welcoming George into that place where illness no longer touches them and joy abounds.
