George was born in Delaware, Ohio on July 14, 1924, to George "Bun" Klee and Geneva Grace (Gabriel) Hoffman.

Mike and family. So many warm memories of working at Buns with your Dad. He was funny, his sense of humor was great. He was also a kind person. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss

George was such a great guy! He often sat with me as I ate a late lunch at Buns and he would slip me a piece of free pie as he was passing by. He was also a customer at Garths Auctions and I worked there for 30 years. He has a wonderful family who will miss him a lot. Love to them all.
