George Andrew Zamborsky's Obituary
George Andrew Zamborsky, 82, passed away peacefully in bed in the loving arms of his wife Rose Mary and hands of his daughter Julie by his side on August 9, 2018. He rode his chairlift for the last time up 19 steep steps to his retirement home in the apartment-over-the garage in Julie’s family home in Barrington, NH. Before his heart finally gave out, he spent the day doing what he loved: gardening with his daughter, swimming with his grandchildren, and smiling into his wife’s big, blue eyes. He was a great man, husband, father, brother, and son, born on July 17, 1936, in Pittsburgh, PA, to the late Helen McHenry, wife of the late Paul McHenry. His sister Helene will greet him in Heave while his sisters Mary Ann Lake, of Monroeville, and Margaret McHenry, Tucson, AZ, will miss their lively “conversations” and hearty laughs. Retired from the Port Authority and a Navy officer, he leaves behind a family he was proud of. His daughters, Amy, Michelle, and Julie, will always remember stomping the polka and being twirled around by their daddy on Sunday mornings to the “Polka Review”. All his girls acquired his “farming gene” and will never forget when Julie unplanted a 50 yard row of onions that Farmer George just planted. The fruit trees and gardens he inspired are a living memorial of him. George loved his grandchildren and spending time together with them. He bonded with Gavin and Grant Bittner over handy-man work and engines which is attested to the by the 1,000 tools he left them. He loved playing chess with Jeffrey and fishing with Bram and Ian. Madison and Cordelia were the apples of his eyes. He loved their baking, taking hikes, and watching movies with them. George had a passion for living, a love of animals, and will be remember by his only swear word “Jiminy Cricket”. All who loved him will never forget his undying love and care for them, most especially, his wife, Rose Mary, who was always hand-in-hand with him by his side. A service will be held for him Thursday, August 16, 2018 at 11:30 am in the chapel at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home, Curry Hollow Rd. Donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or the American Kidney Fund.
