George E. McGaw Jr.

George Edward McGaw Jr. age 89, of Glenshaw, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 2, 2025 at North Hills Passavant Hospital.The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff for their compassionate care and support.

George was born on February 21, 1936 to George Edward McGaw Sr. and Ruth Mae (Cunningham/Linfoot) McGaw. He attended West View High School, where he graduated with the class of 1954.

George was a proud retiree of 39 years with Bell Telephone Company/Bell Atlantic. He enjoyed his early retirement years spending time in his yard and garden. His later years were spent spoiling his three grandchildren, who loved him dearly. George was married to his wife Diane for fifty-eight wonderful years, making treasured memories every day. Usually a man of few words, George will be remembered for his amazingly quick wit, great sense of humor, and for being someone his family could depend on in any situation. He was a son, brother, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, cousin and friend. Above all, George was known as “...a fellow with more than his share of likeable qualities.”

Other than his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister Lois M. Ross. Surviving his departure with cherished memories are his three sons, Michael George Sr.(Toni Lynn), Kevin James, Timmothy Alex, along with his adoring grandchildren, Michael George Jr., Anthony James and Sara Quinn. George will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews, good friends and neighbors.
