George Joseph Maas, age 68, of Brook Park, Minn., formerly of Fridley, passed away on Feb. 28, 2009, at Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis.
George was born Jan. 13, 1941, at the Swedish Hospital in Minneapolis to Walter and Frances (Fremouw) Maas. George was a graduate of De La Salle, Class of 1959.
