CONNEAUT — George E. Adams, age 92, of Conneaut, died Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016, at UH Geauga Medical Center.
George was born on May 8, 1923, in Conneaut, to Arthur C. and Elizabeth (Mackey) Adams. He graduated from Conneaut High School Class of 1939 where he was a notable musician and athlete. He then attended Ohio State University on a football scholarship, completing his formal education after World War II at Case Western Reserve Univ. and was a member of Pershing Rifles Reserve Officers Association and Sigma Chi Fraternity.
George was a fifty plus year member of the Masonic Lodge and was active in local politics, serving as an at-large councilman from 1956 to 1962. He gained flight training and theory while employed by Curtiss-Wright Aircraft Corp in Buffalo, prior to military service. He was a licensed pilot before entering the military, and emerged a decorated combat veteran. He held membership in several Veteran’s organizations and also served as District Executive, Boy Scouts of America.
He was a member of United Congregational Christian several years ago, where he was active as a Sunday School teacher, a choir member, and sat on various committees. More recently, he attended Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, and was also actively involved with the ministry of music.
Over the years, George was employed by several area industries as an engineer. Under George’s supervision, he dealt with the demolition of the original P & C Dock Co. iron ore bridge foundation in 1957. In June of 1961, he and his wife, Dorothea purchased Pizzi Café, which operated successfully as a family business for 38 years.
George was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Lillian Aho and Beverly Rockwell; a son, William E. Adams; and daughter, Beverly Wagner.
