George Spock Obituary
George Spock, 92, passed away peacefully after a short illness on August 27, 2025, in Port Charlotte, Florida. Born and raised in Freeland, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late John and Elizabeth (Rebar) Spock. He will be greatly missed by the love of his life, Josephine Plesce; his son, George Spock, and his wife, Julia; his daughters, Ann and Patricia Spock; and his sister, Martha Minsenberger. He is also survived by six grandchildren: Maria Reynolds and her husband, Corey; Tina Velgus; Erick and Sara Spock; George Tyler and Aaron Spock. In addition, four great-grandchildren: Angelina, Annie and Riley Reynolds; Alexander Velgus.
He is preceded in death by his grandson, John Velgus, the son of Ann Spock; three brothers, John, Edwin, and Anthony Spock; and four sisters, Mary Spock, Agnes Ward, Pauline Evancho and Elizabeth "Betty" Bartko.
Our father was a loving and kind man who helped anyone and everyone around him. He proudly served his country in the United States Army and was employed at White Haven Center for many years. He retired as the supervisor in the plumbing department. Later in life he loved to travel with his "honey"Josephine, spending time with his family, being outdoors and watching westerns. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
The family will have a private service at a time yet to be determined.
