George A. Lanxon

Sad to see George come to the end of his earthly journey. He served his country and the citizens of Fairview Heights with commitment. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

My sympathy to Bobbie and the family. George was a tennent in my family's building on Lincoln Trail for many years. He and Bobbie were very sweet people and as usual very hard workers. They both loved their family and the city of Fairview Heights. He will be missed.

Mayor Lanxon was one of the kindest people who was the greatest ambassador the city of Fairview Heights may have ever seen. I was lucky enough to be a summer college employee in the Public Works Department and later a Police Officer during his tenure as Mayor. He always had the best interest of the city, its citizens and employees as a top priority. He will truly be missed.

I was sorry to see that George passed away. He was the perfect example of a gentleman. We loved seeing him at Salute to the Masters for years.

He has left countless footprints in Fairview Heights and his memory will endure for many years. Both he and Bobbi are two the kindest people that Karen and I will remember fondly for many years. He absolutely loved his city and during his terms as Mayor, he would drive the streets most every weekend for sure to observe that city services were functioning...

I had the pleasure of working for and with George when he was Mayor. Serving as a police officer and later as Police Chief I worked closely with him during his entire career as Mayor. Under his leadership, Fairview Heights developed into one of leading cities in Southern Illinois. He was a perpetual Ambassador for our City and worked hard with his fellow elected officials to see that Fairview Heights was a great place to live and to visit. George was very proud of his involvement with the...
