George Savitz

Jacksonville, Florida. He was born in Jacksonville, August 5, 1928 to Morris and

Rebecca Savitz, immigrants of Warsaw. Russia, now Poland. George is survived by his

loving children daughters Terry Halback (Bill) of Evinston, Florida, Patty Nimnicht (Ed),

Joyce Savitz (Jacksonville Beach) and son Chris Savitz (Paige) Jacksonville. He also

has 4 grandchildren Kristen Nimnicht (Jason), Lauren Dozier(Paul) of Jacksonville, Roseann

Profumo (Jack) of St. Petersburg, Florida and Lelia Peterson (Caleb) of Clearwater,

Florida. George had 5 great grandchildren Bradly and Kaylee Dozier, Liam and Nora

Profumo, and Rosie Peterson. He also had many fine care givers, but Marie went

beyond any of our expectations (Cooking his favorites, taking him on daily trips, making

life fun!!)

George was and avid fisherman (and won many awards) with Chris at his side on his

boat the “Whip-a-Snapper.” He graduated from Lee High School in Jacksonville in 1946

and was a WWII veteran in the US Army in Japan. He played basketball at Jacksonville

Junior College, now JU and went on to graduate from the University of Florida in 1952

George was always a Gator fan (and bled orange and blue). He had his own insurance

company until he retired in 2018.
