George McIlvaine

July 21, 1939 – Oct. 3, 2015

The âù´ºÔºÊÓƵ family lost a great friend and a powerful advocate with the passing of George McIlvaine. Known throughout the community and the state for his commitment to the greater good, he traveled the world to help so many achieve so much. He served on the âù´ºÔºÊÓƵ Board of Trustees as well as the âù´ºÔºÊÓƵ Foundation Board; at the time of his passing, he was chair of that entity. He leaves a void in our hearts, and our thoughts are with all those who knew and loved him, particularly his wife and our friend, Mary.


"When I think of George, I will think of two things. What can I do to make the world a better place and how can I help the person next to me? I aspire to live by those simple words: 'If you have the means to help someone without hurting yourself, do it.' I hope you will do the same."
