January 3, 1952 – March 25, 2012
On Sunday evening March 25, Don George peacefully slipped away at home surrounded by his loving husband, John Tennant, and close family friends. He was 60. He made significant contributions for over three decades to the San Francisco bowling community and won numerous awards, most notably a team gold medal at the 1998 Gay Games V in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Don and John celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2011 and were joyfully able to marry on July 23, 2008. Two of Don's greatest passions were his gardening and spending quality time at home with John and Dreyfuss, their lovable border collie. He leaves behind a wide circle of close friends and family, to include his sole surviving sister, Mrs. Diane Bland of Stockbridge, Georgia. A celebration of his life will take place on Sunday, April 22 at 2 p.m. on the Muir Beach Overlook. For those wishing to honor his memory, please kindly make a donation to your local SPCA. Don will be missed by many but his beautiful legacy lives on in our hearts and minds forever.
