George N. Sepe

George N. Sepe passed away on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at the age of 85, in Sugar Land, Texas. He struggled for nine months after the unexpected loss of his beloved wife of 60 years. He fought a hard battle but after a serious fall in November 2022, he began a steady decline which could not be stopped. He is now reunited with his wife in Heaven.

George was born on December 2, 1937, in the Bronx, New York. He was the oldest son of Pasquale & Josephine Sepe. George met the love of his life, Vivian (Verrilli), at the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut, where they starred in the production of a play called Roshomon in Campus Thunder's theatre group. They married shortly thereafter and raised their 2 children, Christine (Guy) Martin and Damon (Nia) Sepe, in Trumbull, Connecticut. George worked his way up the corporate ladder at Sikorsky Aircraft, where he was a Composites Planning Engineer. He earned his first Patent for a creative composites process and made lifelong friends during his long career. He is remembered as a "cool guy" who became active in the retiree group.

After retiring, George and Vivian decided to move from Connecticut to Richmond, Texas, where they purchased the house of their dreams and lived near their son and his growing family. In Texas, they met wonderful neighbors who became beloved friends and enjoyed being close to their grandchildren, Katherine (Derek) Vargas, Patrick and George Sepe and sharing many delicious family dinners together. George became active in the Waterside Estates community and enjoyed volunteering at Helping Hands, an organization that helped underprivileged families. He also enjoyed woodworking while Vivian complained about the endless saw dust being tracked into her immaculate home.

George Sepe will be remembered as a loving husband, father, son, grandfather and friend. He was also the great-grandfather of little Walter (Vargas) who called him "Peepaw" and enjoyed fist-bumping him when visiting. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, May 5 at 10:00am at St. Laurence Catholic Church, 3100 Sweetwater Boulevard, Sugar Land, TX. The cemetery service will follow at 12:00pm at Forest Park Southwest Cemetery, 9040 FM 359 Road, Richmond, TX 77406. George and Vivian Sepe's remains will be interred together at their final resting place.
