Age 75 Of St. Paul Passed away peacefully May 25, 2015. Robert (Bob) DuMars George was born September 18, 1939 to Esther and Harlan George in Iola, Kansas. Bob graduated from Okmulgee High School in Oklahoma and Fort Hays State University in Kansas with a degree in economics. After two years in the Navy, he started his career at State Farm Insurance in 1964 as an underwriter in Columbia, Missouri and Roseville, Minnesota. He was an agent in Grand Rapids, Minnesota from 1974 to 2002, when he retired. In Grand Rapids, Bob was a longtime member of Rotary International, the Masonic Lodge, Blandin Male Chorus and the United Methodist Church. He volunteered for Grace House, Hope House, and as a diving coach. A competitive swimmer, diver and tennis player in college, Bob ran many marathons and triathlons later in life. He played the flute, and he loved listening to his record collection, fishing and boating with family, and driving his MG and several other unreliable cars, endearing him to local mechanics. Preceded in death by his parents, and sister, Barbara. Survived by children Anthony George, Gina (Patrick) Kennedy, and Andrew (Sara) George; grandchildren Ellie George, Cal Kennedy and Frederick George; former wife, Linda Daniels George; brother Richard (Geraldine) George; and many extended family members and friends.
