Obituary

Thomas J. George, age 95 of Uniontown, Pa., passed away peacefully on Monday, August 2, 2021 at WVU Medicine Uniontown Hospital. He was born in (Jerome Park) Morgantown, WV on December 25, 1925, son of Lebanese immigrants Joseph and Sadie (Rizik) George.

His parents, beloved wife Lorraine (Donato) George, a brother Elias "Eli and wife Mabel, and a sister Macey, preceded him in death.

Tom grew from humble beginnings, proud of his Lebanese ethnic upbringing on East Penn St., where many Lebanese immigrant families initiated their lives. He was a graduate of Uniontown High School Class of 1944. Along with his father Joseph and brother Elias, he operated The New Deal Photographic Studio in Uniontown, founded by his father in 1932 under Roosevelt's New Deal Act. In the late 70's their business became known as George Photographic Studio, operated by he and son Thomas F. George.

He was a self taught musician, entertaining many locals with several popular orchestras over the years. He eventually formed his own orchestra, The Tommy George Quartet, and was able to play all four keyboards/pianos in his home into his 95 th year.

Always a light hearted spirit, he is remembered by many for his ability to make people smile, through his comical, congenial personality. He was most proud of the love of his wife and three sons, his home and family, and being a great provider.

Left to cherish his memory are three sons, Dr. Mallard T. George and wife Donna, Thomas F. George and wife Andrea, and Dr. Michael P. George and wife Paula; grandchildren, Lauren and husband Shawn Clemmer, Thomas, Megan, Kendall and Erin; and great granddaughter, Mallory.
