George R. Janssen, II, 51, of Vernon, was a beloved husband of Jennifer and father of two children George Thomas and Grace, passed away on Tuesday April 18, 2017 from injuries sustained in an aircraft accident.

His passion for flying began when he was 16 learning to fly at an airport near his childhood home in Boca Raton, Florida. In addition to flying, George loved to restore cars, boats, and anything with an engine! Besides his wife and children, he is survived by his sisters; Janet Michael and her husband Elliot, Jeanne Johnson and her husband John; his In-Laws, Mark and Connie Himelberger; his brother-in-laws, Cory Himelberger, Jeremy Himelberger and his wife Katie; his sister-in-law, Aimee Lewis and her husband Charles and several nieces and nephews.
