George William Gross, Jr.
1936-2017
George William Gross, Jr. passed away on May 13, 2017 at his son's home in Carrollton, GA.
A resident of Perdido Beach, AL since 1990, George was born near Reynolds, Indiana on November 23, 1936 to George Gross Sr. and Carrie Dalzill. George served 26 years in the U.S. Navy retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer in 1982. He captained the Highpoint fishing boat for most of his retirement, servicing charters in Orange Beach, AL.
