George prepared at Farmingdale (N.Y.) High School and came to Princeton to major in mechanical engineering. He ate at Elm and was a member of the Catholic Club, Nassau County Club, and the Outing Club. George worked on the Bric-a-Brac and roomed with Parker Monroe.

He served in the Navy Reserve as an aeronautical engineering officer for three years and joined the jet-engine manufacturing company Pratt & Whitney in 1955, where he spent his entire career.

George’s taste for the outdoor life is testified to by his memberships in the Hartford Ski Club, Woodledge Swim Club, and the Glastonbury Hills (Conn.) Country Club.

George died Nov. 2, 2015. He is survived by children Susan, Carol, George III, Philip, and Andrew. He was predeceased by his wife, Myleen. The class  salutes George for a productive life and for  his service.
