Talbot, Jr., George Anderson Talbot passed away on Sept. 8. He is survived by three sons, Pete (Debbie), Rick (Carol Devincenzi) and Al (Lucy), eight grandchildren, one great grandchild, nephew Jim Talbot, and niece Marcia Porter Ellis. He is predeceased by his parents, brother and wife of 62 years, Mary L. Talbot. A 1941 graduate of UC Berkeley and member of the 1938 Cal national champion freshman crew. Following college, George worked for Pan American World Airways and met Mary Louise Lyman (his first boss!) and they married in 1947. After retiring from a career in marine and industrial sales management, he and Mary traveled the U.S., Europe, and the Pacific where they had both worked during and after World War II. His greatest adventure was a cruise up the Amazon on his own, at age 94. He and Mary had many great summer vacations at Lake Tahoe as well, with family and friends, where he was always happy to share his treasured Chris Craft with all. Family is eternally grateful to his many caregivers these past few years, as they surely extended and improved his life. A celebration of life was held at Metro, 3524 Mt. Diablo Blvd. Lafayette, on Oct. 15. Donations may be made to a charity of your choice.
