George Osweiler, age 82, of New Port Richey, Florida, passed away on Friday, July 29, 2016.

“Loving Husband, Father, and Grandfather”

George was born in North English, Iowa. He was the son of the late George Joseph and Wilhomena “Minnie” (Vogel) Osweiler. George is survived by his wife of 47 years, Louise “Sue” (DeNolf) Osweiler; three sons, Gregory (Laura) of Sydney, Australia, Lance, Jeffrey (Melissa); and two grandchildren, Miles and Ella, all of New Port Richey, Florida; two sisters, Annabell (John) Reader of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Mary (Tom) Bueter, of Fort Wayne, Indiana; and many nieces and nephews.

George was in the Navy for four years, and was a Korean War Veteran. He was co-owner with two brothers, Charles and Victor of the Osweiler Hardware Store in Shell Rock, Iowa for 7 years. He was a Union Electrician of IBEW Local 357 of Las Vegas, Nevada. After retiring in 1996, he moved to New Port Richey, Florida. As a “jack of all trades,” George was always fixing something. He enjoyed playing cards (particularly cribbage), fishing, and especially looked forward to annual fishing charters with his son, Jeff and grandson, Miles.

George is preceded in death by four brothers: Cletus, Victor, Charles, Donald, and one sister, Martina.
