LEWES - George Henry Doe, 78, of Lewes, formerly of Ogdensburg, N.Y., passed away unexpectedly in his home on Monday, July 29, 2019.
George was a retired electrician from General Foods and a lifetime Member of the American Legion Post 2 in Dover, Delaware. He attended St. Peter's Catholic School, George Hall Jr. High School, and Ogdensburg Free Academy before joining the Army in 1963, where he was stationed at Fort Miles in Lewes, Del.

He also adored his grandchildren: Bryana, Samantha, Mason, Pearson, Aidan, Isabella, and Santiago; as well as many nieces and nephews.
He enjoyed visiting his hometown of Ogdensburg, N.Y., where three of his siblings and their wives continue to reside: James T. Doe and wife Joyce, Lawrence A. Doe and wife Barbara, and Albert J. Doe and wife Joan. Another brother, Donald C. Doe, resides in Kinnelon, N.J.
