He then went on to work at his son’s (Ed Janich) copier companies FEL and NSDI until 2015.

Dad loved being with and helping his family out anytime. He adored his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He belonged to The American Legion and was a 33-degree Mason. He loved to wear his favorite Navy cap every day and always appreciated getting a military discount. We would like to thank all those businesses that give veterans the discount. He loved going to the Brighton Rec Center with his loving girlfriend, Betty Becker.

Lastly and most importantly, George has gone to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is now reunited with his wife, family members, friends and past generations in Christ. God Bless you, Dad, we thank you from the bottom to the top of our hearts. We could never have asked for a better Dad and the beautiful family you helped create. We will miss you dearly.
