George Anthony Lill, age 89 of Wayne passed peacefully on Friday, February 5, 2016.
He was born and raised in Paterson and lived in Fair Lawn, Wyckoff, Mahwah, and Fairfield before moving to Wayne six years ago. He graduated from Saint Josephs High School in Paterson with the Class of 1944. He continued his education receiving his degree in Elementary Education from then Paterson State College and went on to achieve his Doctorate degree from NYU.
Most of his life George worked as an educator having been with public school districts in Fair Lawn, Northvale, Pompton Lakes, and Elmwood Park. Dr. Lill served as Principal of the Lenox School in Pompton Lakes, and as Curriculum Director for the Elmwood Park Board of Education before retiring in 1977.
George was a US Army Air Corps Veteran of WWII.
He will be remembered as a quiet man who enjoyed reading, and history.
When George was teaching at the Forrest School in Fair Lawn he met a coworker named Ruth Hutchison. They eventually fell in love and married on June 22, 1951 at the Broadway Baptist Church in Paterson and honeymooned at Niagara Falls, New York. They had a loving and devoted marriage of sixty years before Ruth’s passing on July 12, 2011.
George was the loving father of Kathi Mezzadri and her husband Ron of Wayne; proud grandfather of Amanda and Melissa Mezzadri; he was predeceased by his two sisters Rose Klein and May Van Savage.
