COLONIE - George Joseph Rosko, 75, passed away Tuesday, August 19, 2025. He was born in Troy, to the late Theresa Richards Rosko and Joseph Rosko.
George graduated from Mechanicville High School in 1969 and then studied automotive technology at Hudson Valley Community College. He worked at Jack Byrne Ford and Mercury as a salesman from 1969-1976. More recently, George worked at GE Silicone in Waterford for many years.
He is survived by his children, Brian Rosko (Pam Chien) and Jorgeann (Josh) Ramsdill. George is the beloved partner of 21 years to Adrienne Birchler.

George is also survived by Adrienne's son, Colin Birchler and his fiancée, Meg Wheatley. He was devoted to his mentor and cousin, Salvatore Riccardone Sr., who preceded him.
George was warm-hearted and cared deeply for his family. He enjoyed getting together with his children and grandchildren and was a car enthusiast since childhood. He spent many days in his garage restoring old cars and enjoyed attending car shows with Adrienne.
