George Sanger Obituary
1923 in Berlin, Germany to parents Lisel
and Richard Sanger, passed away at home
in Coronado on January 3. His early years
in Germany included going to the ""Hitler""
Olympics in 1936 before he left his homeland
at age 13 for the UK. He attended
school in Yorkshire, England (where after
only a short time, he won a national history
prize for the school), lived with his ""second
family,"" the MacDonald's, in Elgin, Scotland
(winning a prize for English there), and
enrolled in Aberdeen University. Those years
in Scotland kindled in him a lifelong love of
the Highlands.
At the onset of World War II, in an infamous
one-day clearance of all ""enemy aliens""
from the U.K. coastal areas, he was taken
from his home in Scotland and interned in
the wilds of Nova Scotia, along with hundreds of German boys and men. Not wasting his time
there, he appealed to his former professors in Aberdeen to send textbooks which were used to
start a school for the young prisoners. A few years ago, he looked up from his newspaper where
a new Nobel Prize winner had just been named and said, ""I taught him calculus in the camps.""
Using their connections with associates at the University of Toronto, his former professors
aided in his release from internment after 18 months. Soon after, he was accepted into the
University of Toronto's combined university/medical school course, graduating as a Doctor of
Medicine at age of 22. He then emigrated to the U.S., joining his parents, and embarked on a
series of residencies in pathology, surgery (Yale-New Haven), and obstetrics and gynecology
(Beth Israel and Boston City Hospitals). He joined the US Navy, achieving the rank of LTCDR
and served at Chelsea Naval Hospital.
In 1955 he met Blossom Appel at the Evangeline Booth Hospital in Boston where she
was taking her obstetrics rotation in her last year at Tufts Medical School. He loved to say,
""I met Blossom at a hospital for unwed mothers."" They were married six weeks later. After
three happy years in Ellsworth, Maine, the young couple decided to pack their Oldsmobile
convertible and U-Haul trailer with their belongings, two and 8/9ths kids and a Weimaraner
dog and head to the California coast. The day they landed in Coronado from the ferry, they
declared, ""This is the place!"" George opened his first California office in the Hotel del Coronado
(sharing the space with Blossom who was serving as the hotel doctor) later moving to
a location on Orange Ave. (where the Brigantine restaurant now stands) and finally moving
the practice to 1315 Ynez Place. In his career as a dedicated obstetrician, he delivered over
10,000 babies -all special, talented and beautiful! He was a skilled and thoughtful gynecologist
and a friend to his patients.
Giving back to this country and this community was a priority: he served on the Coronado
School Board; started the Endowment Committee of the Friends of the Coronado
Library; served on the San Diego Grand Jury; and was President of the Coronado Hospital
Board several times. To George, education was a life-long pursuit. He took courses in
woodworking at Palomar College and Coronado High School, television building and repair,
computer studies, real estate, and opera studies and continued his involvement with medicine
in all aspects throughout his life. His passion upon retirement from private practice was
woodworking. With his fellow ""Chair-men"" he built beautiful furniture and made wooden
toys for Rady's Children's Hospital.
Scotland remained his second home, the MacDonald family in Elgin his second family
and Berlin forever was in his heart. He always stood for the flag at the 4th of July parade and
celebrated Robert Burns' birthday with gusto.
To say he will be missed is an understatement. He represented everything that was special
in a now by-gone era; he was ethical, dedicated, excited to get up at 2:00 AM, loved delivering
babies, and loved studying his anatomy before an operation. He loved practicing medicine. His
sense and knowledge of history were an inspiration. His awesome memory was daunting and
his sense of humor was blissful to those of us who got the jokes. He leaves a legacy to the future
through his family--genetic and acquired: wife Blossom Appel Sanger, daughter Wendy Sanger
McGuire (Dev Purkayastha), sons George Alistair (Cindy Moorhouse Sanger), Richard Appel
(Suzanne Weber Sanger), David Armstrong (Elizabeth McQueen) and 12 grandchildren.
There is no memorial scheduled at this time. In lieu of flowers he would have appreciated
donations to Friends Of The Coronado Library or Sharp Coronado Hospital Foundation. The
family asks that if you wish to remember George, play music by Bach, read a Robert Burns
poem, sip some single malt whiskey and remember a man who enriched us all.

I will never forget the warm welcome, which Blossom and George gave me, when I visited Coronado in August 1984. I was a daughter in law of Prof. Dr. Hartmut Hoffbauer (friends of George)... I still have a big photo-book, where I can see, that me and his sons also sailed together on their boat in Coronado Sailing-Club. It was a wonderful time, they gave me (being 21 years old). Now I am 60 - and a grandma... Thanks for getting known these wonderful persons! With love from Berlin, Marina

This Legacy memory coincidentally popped up here in Scotland as I was helping - as former club president - to prepare for our historic Stonehaven (Fatherland) Burns Club's annual Supper on 25 January 2023. Apart from the advance admin, I have the relatively minor role on the night, of performing the 'Address to a Haggis', which I just love reciting animatedly...........and I know that George did likewise! (Sorry, but I don't seem to be able to add a pic). Much love to all of the Sanger Sept of Clan MacD.

Hello! I have a wonderful memory of Dr. Sanger. Although brief, it made a wonderful impression that I would love to share with you. In 1997 I was serving as a US Navy SEAL on the island of Coronado. Through some money that I had saved overseas, I was able to purchase a blue beautiful Cadillac Eldorado from George. It was in perfect condition at the time, and about 25 years old. I asked if I could test drive it, and the two of us went for a drive through Coronado and down to the Coronado Cays where I was living at the time. He sat in the passenger seat quietly while I drove and he only said a few words. He said “ I have a lot of wonderful memories in this car“. Although I was very young at the time, I understood that there was something very special about him. I simply told him, “I promise to take care of this car“.
Since then, I have moved to three separate homes From Coronado to Baltimore to Chicago and finally to my home state of Ohio. I brought Dr. Sanger‘s car with me throughout the journey. I added a wonderful bride to the passenger seat and fell in love with her in the same way that George fell in love with Blossom. We added three wonderful children to the backseat. We have had countless fun memories together throughout the years.
I have kept my word to Dr. Sanger, and taken great care of his Cadillac. Shortly after I purchased her, I appropriately named her “Miss America”. It wasn’t until recently I realized his patriotism for America, his love of word working, his appreciation for music, and his love her family. These are all passions that we share.
I’m honored to say that his US Navy officer sticker is still on the car, as well as my navy SEAL sticker. I feel like we are joined together by a special bond that I felt compelled to share. I have many pictures of Miss America and our memories together over the years. She still looks great! Thank you to your family, I’m honored to be a small part of it.... All my best, Jon Sanchez.
PS. I’d be happy to share some recent pictures of miss America ❤

In the 1960's our family moved to Coronado with The RAF where George and Blossom befriended my parents Harold and Rosemary Kerr - they remained ,even at a distance ,lifelong friends.
The thought of George can only bring a smile to my face, there was always so much fun and happiness in his company.
In the early 70's my friend Frances and I imposed on The Sangers hospitality for several weeks and I have many happy memories of that time .We were not made to feel like guests (or intruders) but welcomed into the family.George showing us with pride his latest “work in wood' , sharing some great stories and occasionally a little fatherly advice !
I feel privileged to have know George and will always picture him with that very special smile.
Sending much love to you all

My condolences to the Sanger family. I always thought of Dr Sanger primarily as Wendy's dad and viewed him with a small amount of fear (we were in Junior High, it was healthy fear) but so loved him and Wendy's mom and Wendy and her brothers. My friendship with the family was brief and a long time ago, but it so enriched my life. What wonderful, bright and accomplished folks. My mom sent me the obituary and I learned even more about him than I had known all these years. Take care and thank you. love, Julie Byrd, Duluth, MN

My deepest condolences to the Sanger family on George's passing. I bought a condo in Coronado from George and Blossom in 1991. The street address, as I recall, was 801 C Avenue. The unit had belonged to George's mother. The Sangers were very nice about arranging flexible mortgage terms so that I could buy the property. They did not need to extend me a second mortgage but they did and I remain appreciative. I remember having a fine dinner at their home shortly after I bought the condo. During the course of the meal I learned that we knew people in common such as Dr. Potsubay in New England. I also realized that we both had Hancock County, Maine connections as George practiced in Ellsworth and my father's side of the family is from Castine. I have a deep admiration for George and the Sanger family.
January 19, 2015
What a special man he was. I rented an apartment from Blossom Sanger in 1988 on 7th and D Avenue. My family owned Claytons on 10th and Orange for 35 years. I never had the pleasure of meeting this wonderful man, but was so moved after reading about his life, His family must be so proud of him. I am so sorry to hear this news. He lived such a long life and enriched so many lives. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Sincerely,
Barbara Rice
Goodnight, Dad. I love you

These words are only a shadow of my deep love and gratitude for you, George. You stimulated my intellectual curiosity, made me laugh that good deep, belly laugh, and graciously shared your morning crosswords with me when I had the delight of being there to join you. By example and engaging conversation, you nurtured that part of me that loves learning, books, travel, ideas and ideals, personal connections, family, and kindness.
I will be forever grateful for the years I had you in my life, which played no small part in who I have now become. Thank you, from the depths of my heart.
And to you, my dear Sanger family, I send love and healing and grace as you move through this new and difficult transition. Be gentle with yourselves as you adjust to life without your sweet friend and husband, father, and Opa. I hold you all close in my heart, a radiant picture of the remarkable family you are, where all the women are strong (and beautiful!), all the men are good looking, and all the children are (way!) above average, every one.
Much Love,
Dianna

Our relationship with your family was the most enduring element of our stay in Coronado. George had such an exceptional life and you are such an exceptional family. My brother, Iain, forward the e mail and its so beautifully worded. Glad Blossom has such good family support. Sincere condolences.

My thoughts and prayers are with you the family, friends, coworkers, neighbors and pets that experienced this great loss. George was a gracious host and my family has wonderful memories of the time we spent with him. He always had a book suggestion, a current events update or a funny story from his past to share. We will miss him terribly as I know you do. Dr Sanger is watching over us and sending us signs (red wigs) as a reminder of his presence. Love, Genevieve, Tim, Jake, Henry Rohan and the Knych family

I am sitting on the sofa with my daughter, Lauren Holland, who was delivered by George Sanger on Sept. 17, 1982. She is holding her brand new baby girl, Elisabeth as we await the final feeding of the evening. I am telling Lauren the story of her own birth at Coronado Hospital where we were attended by George and Blossie.
What a wonderful couple! He will be long remembered and loved. Maggie Anderson (Scott)
(George also delivered our son Paul on May 13, 1980.)
January 13, 2015
What a wonderful, kind person we have lost. He was a patient neighbor with a calm manner of seeing complicated things simply and expressing them so. I enjoyed our brief acquaintance and always felt that I would like to have known him better. That is a wonderful quality in any person---to wish you knew them better.
Our thoughts are with the family at this sad time. We will miss seeing him working in his garage.

Dear Blossom and family, as the son of one of George's MacDonald ‘brothers' (Sandy). I know the love and esteem in which he was held by all his adopted Scottish family and remember with affection the warmth which radiated from both you and George on the all too few occasions when we met. I think the last time was about 15 years ago at one of Donald's legendary Edinburgh Festival parties at 27 Northumberland Street but I have attached a photo of an earlier occasion when you were visiting Mum and Dad (who took the picture) in Arbroath in, I think, 1997. We send our heartfelt condolences to you all at this time and feel assured that the love of close, and more distant, family will sustain through difficult days. With much love, Ken, Marjory, Alistair and Rosalind.
January 11, 2015
We will miss Dr. Sanger and his sense of humor. He was a fine gentleman and a pleasure to know.

To Blossom, Wendy and Family. Brief meetings but lasting memories of George Sanger, husband, father and friend. A wonderful man! A special family connection with the MacDonalds in Elgin, Scotland.
As daughter of George MacDonald (Elgin) I wish to pass on our sincere sympathy. Dad and I send our love and want you to know our thoughts are with you all.

My husband and I wish to send our condolences to your family.
As written in the obituary in the Coronado Eagle & Journal, I felt that he was not just my gynecologist, but also a friend who care about my health and our family.
Because of this treatment, I am today a healthy woman and will always remember him.

Dear blossom, I am the youngest son of George Macdonald of Elgin. I pass on my condolences to you and your family. I have fond memories of your Scottish visits over the years and the last time I met George was in our house just outside Elgin. I think that time we all went to loch morlich at the base of the Cairngorms and I remember George talking fondly of the Scottish mountains. Please pass on my thoughts to all your family. Take care.

I used to think that George's middle initial stood for MacDonald, so much a son and brother was he in our Elgin family and ever since. It was his pen-pal relationship with sister Elsie in their early schooldays in Berlin and Elgin respectively that flourished into our familial love over all our lifetimes. Our youngest late brother Donald helped nurture our family ties over the years and probably George's taste for a Highland malt, including the Glenmorangie - George and Blossom's contribution (in absentia) to Donald's “wake” in Edinburgh three years ago! I would liken George to Nathaniel about whom Jesus said, “You shall see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the son of man” (John 1. 47-51) - for George, in whom also “there was nothing false”, was liberal in sharing the gifts of affection, wisdom, humour and sheer joie-de-vivre which with he was endowed, thus enriching us all. We thank God for this dear brother, for Blossom and for all who knew and loved him.

Dearest Blossom,
my thoughts are with you and the family. I so much enjoyed the wonderful time with you, when I was in San Diego. Thank you so much for that - you are part of my life! We all will sail away one day, and I believe, that we will meet again somewhere somewhen... With a lot of love from Berlin, Marina

So many fond memories of my days spent at the Sanger's with George Sr. at my "home away from home" on First Street. Smiles, laughter, toasting, and most of all love. His smile and lust for life and family lives on through his kids. He will be dearly missed by all but his legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew him.
January 9, 2015
I have fond memories of George and family with my visit to your home in 1980 with my two friends.Wonderful hospitality; The pool and hot tub, pizza meal with films of operations to follow!Also time out with the boys. All the best Blossom with deepest sympathy from George Elliott Maidstone Kent.

Dear Blossom and Family,
Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you all. I was so lucky to know George as my OB/GYN doctor, my neighbor and someone I enjoyed so much for his intellect, sense of humor and for his good taste in scotch whiskey. I so admired his wood working artistry, especially his Maloof Chair. May he rest in peace and may you all be comforted with your many many good years of fabulous memories.
With love and deep sympathy,

Dear Blossom
As eldest surviving grandson of Dr Alistair and Nell MacDonald of Elgin, I have fond memories of your visits to Scotland and in particular, a clear recollection of how much George was regarded as a real member of the Northview family. I am just sorry that Mag and I never got across to San Diego for a visit. I share your joint love of Robert Burns as my late father Dr John did before me, and indeed am chairing our local Stonehaven Fatherland Burns Supper for the third time as its President on 21 January........I will think of George as that evening of song, unmatchably beautiful poem and tributes unfolds.
Love, too from my wonderful mum Rene at Lhanbryde and all her family scattered between Scotland, England, Oz and NZ.
Your life together was a remarkable story of difficult odds overcome with Faith and fortitude......may God hold you and your family very close at this time. David.

George was one of the finest men that I have worked for. His kindness and understanding of the life of a Navy wife helped me get through some trying times. He will be missed and is in my prayers.
January 8, 2015
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Even though your years in Ellsworth, Maine were too few, you made friends with us and with so many others who held George in such huge respect. Our relationship with the Sanger family has always left a strong attachment with the Clark family in Maine, many memories and great fun when we had our reunion at Patten Pond, seems so many years ago.
My dad, was always sending envelopes with news from Ellsworth..always calling and checking on the Sanger family...and meeting David at the Blue Hill Fair was a highlight for Mom, Dad and our family
Meeting with Wendy this summer was so special....she still has to share a song that Dad taught her...not too nice, but that was Dad.
George my parents and so many more who will welcome him to a special place and we all know....we will all meet again. Take care, your are in our thoughts. xoxo Be and family

George Sanger was an man who was fun, committed to his family and profession and a man of character, easy to know and like -- the genuine quintessential father and friend. He was God Father to our son David.

After reading about your dad, it makes me even more proud that you are one of my mentors. I can see where your awesomeness came from, (I also had to step back and wonder what you nust have really thought of that coin holder I made for you after having a dad that was so amazing at wood working).

Dear Blossom, Wendy, George, Rick and David: I was just a kid when I knew your dad, through the Denney's and my BFF Mark, and being between 14 and 18 years old I had no idea WHY I liked him so much, I just knew that there was something special and funny and intelligent and egalitarian about him. I know Mark really liked him too, and of course Judd and Dee (my "other" parents) loved him. My condolences and best wishes to your whole family.

When I make the chips fly next, they will be in George's honor. I remain here for you all! In love,friendship and prayer, Tom Morelli
