George Szabo Obituary
George Szabo, 86, of Severna Park, died July 10, in Hospice Care at his home. Mr. Szabo was born August 9, 1928, in Etyek, Hungary to Rosa and Anton Szabo. The family came to America on George's first birthday in 1929 and settled in Bowie, MD. George had a long successful career with Ford Motor Company and was once featured on the cover of Time magazine as one of the country's top salesmen. Mr. Szabo was preceded in death by his wife Helen Szabo; his son, George Szabo Jr.; his brother, Anthony Szabo; his sisters, Mary Szabo Craighead and Anna Catherine Szabo. His survivors include his sisters, Juliana Trimmer of Bowie, Theresia Wagner of Arnold and Rose Wilson of Crownsville.

George was one of the first people I met when I moved into my home in Severna Park. I miss the "Mayor of Trenton Avenue," his wonderful stories of his childhood in Bowie and his career. George was a gentleman of the old school and the consummate salesmen. As I drive by his empty home I can still see him, dressed in his blue blazer, carefully sweeping our street and keeping watch over our neighborhood. Thank you for your kindness. PS. Bear and Betty still look for you every day for their treats. I'm sure you're taking care of all your four-legged and two-legged neighbors in heaven. I miss you. Jenni Lucke
