Obituary
George Albert Hirtle, Jr.
June 21, 1949 – May 20, 2023
In loving memory of . . . my husband, my best friend, my confidant . . . George Albert Hirtle, Jr.
George leaves behind his wife Carole of 37 and a half years, his son George III, daughter Melissa, grandchildren Cody, Hannah, Logan, Leah, Melissa’s husband Jim and his daughter Kristen, his sisters Linda and Gale, and our nephew James III and his family . . . along with many other family members, and many, many good friends we have been blessed to have.
We both have a great love of animals, especially cats, that were all very important and special to us and we built a life with, and he leaves behind our latest rescue Kinu. I can only believe he is reunited with our cats who are waiting in Heaven, Dennis, Mindy, Molly, Samantha, Princess, Joey, and Lulu.
He loved music and playing his guitar.
His career was spent at GE until he retired and we moved to Florida.
It is with immense sadness and tears that I write this, but the many great memories are what will carry us forward.
Dear George:
Our hearts are heavy and we sigh,
For we cannot bear to say goodbye.
In the blink of an eye, all these years have passed,
It’s hard to believe they went by so fast.
Through our buckets full of tears,
We thank you for the many years.
For being such a special part of our life,
We will somehow move through this time of strife.
Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure,
You are loved beyond words, and missed beyond measure.
With love always and forever, Carole
And all of your family, friends, and feline family.
I saw George play his last concert on 20 February 2023 at Chula Vista. Fun time.
