"What a great life George lived, Barb. A great mentor and example for all his large family. I remember fondly going to the BSO with George and Mary. They were always so full of life. I remember seeing George in the office, and he was always sharp as a tack- even well into his nineties. You put together an inspiring tribute on line. Thank you for that. Madeleine and I will certainly say a prayer for George as we believe his spirit is now with Mary and Bill. God Bless."
In loving memory of
George Cortelyou Condon
August 13, 1917 - November 8, 2018
George C. Condon - Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great Grandfather, born August 13, 1917, George C. Condon died peacefully on November 8, 2018, at Brookdale Sakonnet Bay in Tiverton, RI. He was born in Brodhead, WI, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a BS in Accounting.
He was married to his sweetheart, Mary Ellen Stauffacher, for 75 wonderful years. Mary Ellen died two years ago. George is survived by his children: Sue (Bruce) Guenther of Silver Spring, MD; Elizabeth (Thomas) Glembocki, of Apex, NC; Mary (John) Benziger, of South China, ME; Holly Condon (Darrel Hollister), of Fairfax Station, VA.; and his devoted daughter-in-law Barbara Condon of Portsmouth, RI. He has twelve grandchildren: Stephen Guenther, Jeffrey Condon, Heather (Condon) Pillis, Corrie (Condon) Quintard, Katherine (Condon) Parker, Joe Glembocki, Laura (Benziger) Ker, David Benziger, Peter Benziger, Mary (Benziger) Harris, Kristin Hollister, and Michael Hollister; and eighteen great grandchildren, Audrey and Daphne Condon; Eva and Lilly Guenther; Nathaniel, Addison, and Anderson Pillis; Paige and Emily Glembocki; Conor and Freddy Ker; Kayleigh, Caitlyn, Keagan, and newborn Quintard; Austin, and Mia Harris; and Emmaline Parker.
He was preceded in death by his wife; his son, William Condon of Portsmouth, RI; his parents; his twin brother, brother, and three sisters.
George was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy in WWII, and had a 38-year career in accounting management with U.S. Steel. He volunteered in his church and community; loved music, sports, and travel; but, the joy of his life was his adored wife Mary and his wonderful family. George was an honorable man and a quintessential gentleman. He was caring and supportive, and a role model for the family who loved and revered him. He was loyal and considerate, and made a positive impression on everyone he met. He lived a long life well, and will live on in our cherished memories.
We will have a family celebration of his life next summer in Maine.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Visiting Nurse Home and Hospice, 1184 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871.
Tributes
"Deepest condolences to the Condon family and friends for the loss of your loved one George. During Jesus Christ Ministry his friend Lazarus had fallen asleep in death Jesus Christ shedded tears minutes later even though Lazarus had been laid to rest in a tomb for 4 days Jesus Christ called to Lazarus to come out miraculously waking him up from the sleep of death John 11:11-44. This foreshadowed what Jesus Christ will do very soon for the loved ones we have lost in death they will hear Jesus Christ voice calling them miraculously waking them up from the sleep of death John 5:28,29, right here on a brand new Paradise Earth no more sickness pain or death Life Without End Revelation 21:1-5 jw.org."
"May George's soul, rest in peace...and my the souls of all the departed souls rest in peace, Amen.Tony Agostinelli"
