He is also survived by two of his oldest friends, Jim Ward of Waldo and Doyle Cook of Marion.
Including his parents and wife, George was preceded in death by his brother, John; and sister, Jane (Darrell) Denman; and many friends he had accumulated in 86 years of life.
His family will greet friends from 12:30 - 2pm on Monday, December 30th, at the Denzer-Farison-Hottinger & Snyder Funeral Home, 360 E. Center St, Marion. Services honoring his life will immediately follow at the funeral home with burial following that at the Marion Cemetery. Lay Minister Mike Fogle will officiate at the home and cemetery and the Marion County United Veterans Council military honor guard will be present at burial, with Vern Heimlich playing taps for his dear friend.
His family would like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" to both Dr. Michael Hayes and his staff, and to Marion Manor for their tender care of Bill.
