Obituary of George A Lane

George A. Lane 91 of Westvale went home on January 10, 2025 to be reunited with his beloved
wife, Gertrude, who passed away in 2012.
George resided in Westvale for over 60 years and was a graduate of Solvay High School.
He worked at Solvay Lanes as a pinsetter, and The Calet Theater as an Usher when he
was young man. George served in the Army Reserves. He was Co-Owner of Armani Plumbing
and Heating, he retired in 1988.
He was a lifetime member and on the Board of Directors with The Pinnacle Rod and Gun

the
Sportman’s Roundtable. George was also the Leader of the Littlejohn Gang. He was a hunter,
fisherman and all- around sportsman, as well as avid bowler back in the day.
George was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone that needed it,whether he
knew you or not and asked for nothing in return. George loved spending time with his family
and grandchildren and all his friends.

great granddaughter, Novella Faith Parker, his brothers, Eugene (Anna) Armani, Gerald

McElwain and more friends that he could count. George was the “Norm” of Cheers.
At least now we will know the answer to the frequently asked question – Where’s
George?
He’s finally at peace. Thank you on George’s behalf.
