George T. Shiflett
George T. Shiflett, 76, of Akron, passed away January 16, 2012. George was born in Akron on September 8, 1935 to the late William and Ginny Shiflett. He retired from Diamond Crystal/Akzo Salt Company after 40 years of service. In his free time, George could be found on the golf course, in the bowling alley, or relaxing with friends at the Allenside Club. He had a terrific sense of humor and his gift for conversation made him friends wherever he went. Above all, George was devoted to his family. He was a loving husband and father and was never more content than when he had a grandchild sleeping on his chest. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, George Jr.; sisters, Alma and Mabel; and brothers, Gene and Clint. He will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 59 years, Peggie; daughter, Cindy (Art) Reedy; son, Troy (Theresa) Shiflett; sister, Darlene; brothers, Jack (Betty) and Charlie (Debbie); grandchildren, Jesse (Brandie), Brandon (Renee), Joshua, and Kiersten; great-grandchildren, Haley, Kyle, Kara, and Jackson. George's family would like to thank Roger and Sherry Owens for all their help over the years. Visitation will be Friday January 27 from 3-6 followed by a 6:00 p.m. memorial service with Rev. Ernie Kemppel officiating at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 131 N. Canton Rd. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of VNS, 3358 Ridgewood Rd., Akron, OH 44333.
