George Whitlow Obituary

WHITLOW, George Walter, passed away on August 17, 2022, peaceful and surrounded by family. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, he moved to Norfolk as a young man before settling in Richmond for the remainder of his life. He is perhaps best defined by some of his greatest loves: above all his family, his lifelong support of the University of Virginia, his tremendous pride as a business and community leader, as well as his enjoyment of a good book, a round of golf, the music of the 60s and the company of friends. To those who knew him, he will be remembered for his kind and warm spirit, his ability to turn a stranger into a friend, his sense of humor and his incredible generosity. There will never be another like him.

I knew George as my first sales manager at Colonial Chevrolet. He guided me with a steady hand. I will remember him fondly.

Deepest sympathies from the both of us to Wendy and the entire Whitlow family. Many fond memories that will last a lifetime..from UVA in the 60s and Beatle concerts at Rugby Rd( George was the drummer), boxing at Mem Gym, where George won the lightweight title, football trips, including 1984 when we won our first bowl game, our mutual weddings, or just turning up the record player and singing along with the Beachboys till the wee hours. . These and more and enough for a lifetime.

So sad to hear of his passing

My Uncle George was one of the kindest, most generous men I´ve ever known with a brilliant sense of humour. He will be sadly missed by all of our family.
