He was born Sept. 16, 1932, to the late George and Louisa (Nass) Bardons Sr. George proudly served in the U.S. Navy. He enjoyed working on engines in his garage and took great pride in his yard.

George is survived by his son, George L.

Besides his parents, George was predeceased by his wife, Carole Anne Bardons.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Joel Silver for the compassionate care given to their father.
