Ralph

George

Ralph C. George, a lifelong resident of East Hampton, N.Y., and devoted husband of Vilma (Hawkins) George, died peacefully on November 29 ^th at the age of 92. Ralph was the son of the late Edward and Angela (Pitts) George.

Ralph proudly served his country for 20 years in the Navy. He was stationed aboard the USS TORO SS-422, USS PC-777, USS COBBLER SS-344, USS YOG-32, USS CABOT CVL-28, USS FULTON AS-11 and the USS SUNBIRD ASR-15. Following his Navy career, he was employed by the Town of East Hampton Police Department as the Marine Police Officer aboard his cherished Marine One. Many people can attest to being rescued or towed in from choppy waters by Ralph.

Ralph enjoyed helping people and was a volunteer ambulance driver for the Town of East Hampton for 30+ years with over 3,000 calls. After retiring, he would often spend many mornings with a coffee looking out over Three Mile Harbor. Ralph also had many friends who he would share laughs and stories with. He loved his church, his usher comrades and his fellow parishioners. Other than his time in the Navy and the last year of his life, he lived in his favorite place, East Hampton.

In addition to his beloved wife, Ralph leaves behind a son, Reuben George of Columbia, S.C., step-daughter Sandra (Hart) Convery and her husband Mark of Tewksbury, MA. He is also survived by granddaughters Lauren Convery of Nashua, N.H., Kerri Convery of Newton, MA., Julia Marie George of South Carolina, Jennifer Michelle George of South Carolina, and great-grandchildren Bryan, Olivia and Kevin Reeves of South Carolina.
