I’m so sorry for your loss. Paul was such an awesome man. He will be missed. I won’t be able to attend the services as I will be out of town. I’ll be thinking of your entire family.
On behalf of the Rochester AeroModeling Society (RAMS), we would like to extend our condolences to the family of Paul Georger. We will miss Paul and have fond memories of his enthusiastic and “can do” participation with the RAMS. Our Thursday morning gatherings will never be the same in his absence. Our very best to one of our own. Jim Hoffman, President, RAMS

Laurie, Don and the entire Georger extended family,
On behalf of my parents Dave (Paul’s Brother) and Loretta Georger, and my sister Diana, we send our condolences and love for the passing of Uncle Paul. He was one of a kind in the true Georger tradition: smart, funny, tough, stubborn, humble, mischievous and loyal. Growing up in Rochester, our families spent a ton of time together and the cousins were very close. Uncle Paul had so many admirable accomplishments…Korean war vet, business professional, avid fisherman, etc. But the one thing that stands out was his ability to talk to just about anyone…about almost anything. He was genuinely interested in what you were doing (work, sports) and not surprisingly ready with some advice and good-natured ribbing! While he will be missed, we know he is at peace with Aunt Kitty and Pete.
I knew Paul in the 80’s when I was early in my career in the mechanical contractor field and Paul was our salesman from Jackson Welding. Having just retired myself I look back on Paul as an honest and knowledgeable friend that represented both Jackson Welding and the industry well. I’m glad to see that he had many years after retirement.
Laurie and your family,
I am sorry for the loss of your beloved father.
Long time neighbor to my grandparents and then parents. One of my dads best friends. I know he will miss him greatly. Thankful for knowing him, and enjoyed our times my son and I had with him at field watching the model planes. Lots of memories!
Our love, support and prayers to the entire family and friends/neighbors.
Paul was my 1st cousin. My father and myself lived in upstairs apartment at 505 Birr St. in Rochester. Paul and Kitty were more like seconds parents to me during the 50’s and early 60’s. I cherish these memories of the past. Paul was a great husband and father and carried on the Georger name with class.
Laurie and Don, I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. My heart goes our to you and your families.
