George Jankovich Obituary

Ashville, Ala. - George W. Jankovich, 71, of Ashville, Ala. passed away while in the hospital Feb. 17, 2017, after a lengthy group of illnesses. He was born Sept. 22, 1945, to Benjamin F. Jankovich Sr. and Genevieve F. Watrous Jankovich, both deceased. He is also predeceased by six siblings, Beverly, Benjamin Jr., Stephen, Bertha, Sandra, and Robert. His deepest heartbreak in life was being predeceased by his only son, Nathanael Asa Jankovich. He is survived by three very beloved siblings, Arthur L Jankovich, who he resided with in Ashville, Ala., Genevieve F. Hall of Salisbury, N.C., and Roberta E. Jankovich of Groton. Also left behind are many nephews, nieces, cousins and friends who all loved him dearly.

George loved God. He took nothing or nobody for granted. Family, gardening, and birds were his passions, though he loved all nature and was a friend to all he met. He is, and will forever be sorely missed.

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. May 17, 2017, at Elm Grove Cemetary, 197 Greenmanville Ave., Mystic. A gathering will be held at Danielle Medrano's home following the service: 673 Shennecossett Rd, Groton.

To the family of George Jankovich, I knew George from High School and I remember him as a very kind hearted person and classmate. It is sad to see those of our youth pass and though I have not seen George for 50 years this news saddens me and at the same time brings the face of a really nice guy back to mind. Rest Peacefully George.
