George Glinos, age 84, of Hobart and formerly of Indiana Harbor, passed away on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

George was born on August 26, 1939 in East Chicago, "The Harbor", to the late George E. and Anne (nee Worona) Glinos.  He attended East Chicago Washington High School, Class of 1957.  George worked as a General Foreman in Plant 2 Mills at Inland Steel for 34 years.  He also worked at the Merrillville OTB Parlour for 23 years. George was a proud Veteran of the Marine Corp and was stationed at Camp Pendleton in California.  He met his future wife, Patricia Oliver, through the apartment building that their families owned during childhood.  It wasn't until George left the service that he and Patricia got together and married on June 2, 1962.  Together they attended Nativity of Our Savior Catholic Church.
