George Bath Obituary
Born on October 25, 1940, in Danville, IL, he was the son of Earl and Elizabeth "Betty" Bath. George was a 1960 graduate of Klondike High School. He began his career at Stiny's before becoming a dedicated cement truck driver.
An accomplished bowler, George won numerous championships and found joy in the sport throughout his life. He was a familiar face at the Checkerboard, where he enjoyed his daily lunch at his special seat. A lifelong NASCAR enthusiast, George was the biggest Dale Earnhardt fan and spent countless hours watching races.
George is survived by his niece, Ann Thomas; great-nephews, Blake, Branden, and Brendan; six great-great-nieces and nephews; and his sister-in-law, Henrietta Bath. He was preceded in death by his parents, his sister, Patricia Witt, and his brother, Patrick Bath.
