Albert George Obituary
Albert "Sonny" George Jr., 81, passed away on July 18 at Ohio Living Sarah Moore Nursing Home. Albert was born in Delaware, Ohio on August 13, 1940, to the late Albert George and Virginia L. (Schlabach) George.
He was a graduate of Willis High School and attended Miami University and the Ohio State University and was a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Albert was Plant Manager of Hagglunds Dennison, worked for Worldwide Games and PPG Industries as a Production Supervisor.
Albert adored his dogs Toby and Lacy and spent as much time as he could playing with them. He was a loyal fan of the Ohio State Buckeyes, a football season ticket holder and loved attending games. He also had a passion for golf and played regularly prior to his illness. Albert enjoyed fishing with his friends in Michigan, reading The Gazette and Dispatch regularly and maintaining a beautiful yard and garden. In his retirement, Albert, his wife Letha and their dogs spent their winters in Sebring, Florida where he also enjoyed playing golf with his buddies. He and Letha traveled to Hawaii often and those vacations were a highlight in his life.
Albert was happiest when spending time with his family. He was extremely proud of his children and grandchildren and delighted in their experiences which he could share through pictures they sent to him on his digital frame.

So sorry about Sonny. I am one of the Michigan fishing buddies. Many years we enjoyed our time together. Fishing was the main reason, but the time together was the most important. I will miss him.
