George Hessenthaler Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the late George and Mary Hessenthaler, George was a resident of Mount Laurel for the last 15 years. After proudly serving in the United States Air Force from 1964 to 1968, George married and started a family that ultimately led him back to the Philadelphia area. Prior to retiring, George realized and developed a creative talent for capturing special moments in people's lives as a videographer. Throughout his lifetime George's hobbies included keeping up with dear friends, especially if it involved playing pool, record collecting and watching and playing sports. George was an avid reader, a passionate writer, which ultimately led to a collection of published stories, and enjoyed keeping up with his grandchildren.
Loving father of Christopher (Amy Peterson) Hessenthaler and Jennifer Devitt; beloved partner of Paula Wagner and step father to her daughter, Elizabeth DiLemme; cherished grandfather of Charlie and Theo Hessenthaler and Madeline, Liam and Brendan DiLemme; dear brother of Mary Afflerbach and James Hessenthaler.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend George's visitation on Thursday, May 16, 2024, 10:00 - 11:00 and the Celebration of George's life will follow at 11:00 AM along with Military Honors.
