OTU Class 1/70 – The Late George Giummarra

Published November 4, 2021November 4, 2021 by Ian Kelly

Dear Scheyvillians, National Chairman, Frank Miller, has received this sad news on the passing of George Giummarra (1/70)

OTU Class 1/70 Friends

It is with enormous sadness that Victoria advised of the passing of her dear father and our classmate, George Giummarra, this morning.

George died peacefully in the company of his closest family – wife Sue, Victoria and Cindie.

Victoria will also advise the details of the funeral for George and, presumably, should there be any, the limits on numbers attending. I will pass these on when learned.

Sue, Victoria and Cindie express their appreciation to you all for your kind wishes and support over recent weeks. George acknowledged this at the time.

Ray (Andrews)
Class 1/70
