George entered Everlasting Life after a sudden illness on
December 7, 2020 in the presence of his beloved wife, Bobbie
at his bedside. He was born January 10, 1934 to John and
Christine Stoller in Hazelton, North Dakota. He was one of
10 children. He was preceded in death by seven brothers, one
sister, and a previous wife Arlene Stoller.
George proudly served in the US Navy onboard the USS
Aggressive-class Minesweeper during the Korean War. After
the war, he returned to his home in Hazelton. He then moved
to San Francisco, California where he worked many years at
Metropolitan Life Insurance. George later moved to Lodi,
California and became a business owner/operator of the
Rainbow Club, G.Js and Harold Club Card Room until his
retirement.
George was an avid fisherman, billiards player, card player,
and sports fan of the Kings, San Francisco Giants, and San
Francisco 49ers. He was a smart, kind, and witty man with a
never ending sense of humor. He was generous in his giving
and rarely asked for assistance. He would tell stories of
his childhood that were followed by great laughter from all
who were listening. He would visit relatives frequently and
was a great friend to have.
George is survived by his wife Bobbie, son Brian (Shelley)
Stoller of Elk Grove, California, daughter Paige (Ray)
Patenaude of Tega Cay, South Carolina, 9 grandchildren, 2
great-grandchildren, sister Caroline Kalstrom, sister-in-law
Jeanne (Walter) Stoller, and many nieces and nephews who
shared an unique, adoring relationship with their Uncle
George.
