So long George - you will be missed

 











George Ryll, 73, Sebastian, Florida passed away on February 10, 2021 at home with his family. 

He was born in Uslar, Germany on September 14, 1947. George came to this country with his family in 1956.  After graduating from Passaic County Vocational high school he served in the US Army. George lived most of his life in West Creek, New Jersey. He was an active member of the Eagleswood Fire Company from 1973 to 2000 serving as Chief from 1979 till 1986 and again from 1990 to 1998. He was a member of the NJ State Fire Chiefs Association as well as the Ocean County and Southern Ocean County Fire Chiefs Association. He was a Life Member of the Fireman’s Association. He worked for HBE corporation as a project supervisor until 1997 when he went to work for Oceanfirst Bank as a facilities manager.  

George and his wife Barbara retired to Sebastian in 2011.  He enjoyed many rounds of golf with his friends at Sebastian Municipal Golf Course, where he was a member.  

George was preceded in death by his first wife Elaine and his children Stephanie and Chip. He is survived by his wife Barbara, his sisters, Hilda; Irene (Ditmar); and Anna; his granddaughters, Kaia and Olivia, and many nieces and nephews. 

George will always be remembered for his kind and generous heart, his sense of humor, his willingness to always help a friend or stranger, and above all, his deep unconditional love for his family. A celebration of his life will be held later this year. 

In  lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Eagleswood Fire Company,

George, you will be missed. Anyone who had the pleasure of joining you for a round of golf knows that you found joy in each moment. I know you will be smiling on all of the HBE hackers going forward. We'll be sure to offer a toast to your memory when we convene again in October for the 10th annual HBE Memorial/Alumni event at Creve Coeur Golf Course.
