George Anthony Hochschwender ’43

George died at his home in Tampa, Fla., June 27, 2003. He was 82.

A Brooklyn native, George graduated from Polytechnic Preparatory Country Day School in 1939 and Princeton in 1943. During WWII, he served in the Army, attained the rank of captain, and performed the hazardous duty of field artillery pilot.

George's business career encompassed, for the most part, self-employment in the real estate development field. Previously, he had worked for the W.H. Toole real estate firm and as a tractor salesman.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, the former Mary Cornelia Kelly. Survivors include four siblings; son George Jr.; and daughters Sarah Squella, Bess Anderson, and Ellen Ferrill.

A Tampa resident since 1955, George was an extremely active community leader, working with the local chamber of commerce, philharmonic, city council and Clara Frye Hospital.

To the entire family, we extend our deepest and most heartfelt condolences.
