George J. Linder age 81 of Spring Hill formerly of Wayne, NJ on Sunday, April 20, 2008 at the Brooksville Regional Hospital in Brooksville, Florida. At his passing his loving family were at his bedside and his passing was quiet and peaceful.

He was born in Jersey City and had spent his formative years in North Arlington later living in Wayne for thirty-five years before moving to Spring Hill, Florida seventeen years ago.

George received his formal education at North Arlington High School graduating with the Class of 1945. He then went on to study at Upsala University in West Orange, NJ graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with the Class of 1950.

Soon after graduation he joined the family business Linder and Company Incorporated, a printing and graphics business in New York City. He was the third generation of Linder’s to join the family business that his great grandfather had founded in 1852. George’s father George P. Linder had taken over the business from his grandfather and had taken his first vacation to Florida in ten years and had a heart attack. He turned the business over to his son George J. Linder who made the business grow in his forty-two years as President and CEO of the Linder Company. After George’s retirement in 1991 he turned the business over to his son George R. Linder, who is the fourth generation of Linder’s to operate the family business. George moved the business from New York City to Jersey City in 2000 and currently is President and CEO of Linder & Company.

He will always be admired in the business world as a “very business like leader” who was very successful at his profession.

He proudly served in the United States Navy during World War II aboard the USS Requisite. He received the American Theatre Medal, the Asiatic Pacific Medal and the World War II Victory Medal. He was a member of the American Legion Post 0186 in Spring Hill, Florida.

He was a parishioner of Holy Cross RC Church in Wayne, NJ and in Spring Hill at St. Frances Cabrini RC Church. While in Wayne he was a member of the Wayne Elks Lodge 2181.

George enjoyed golf as his hobby and when he established himself in Spring Hill, Florida he chose a home site that had three golf courses adjacent to his residence. His garage had one bay for the car and the other for his golf cart.

George and Camille Linder had fifty-four years of “two peas in a pod loving and devoted” marriage together.

Surviving are his loving wife Camille (nee Maciag) Linder; loving father of Susan Linder of Oakland, George Linder and his wife Anita of Wayne, Nancy Schicke and her husband James of Boonton Township; one sister Dolores Peterson and her husband Herbert of Hudson, Florida; five grandchildren George-Michael and Brittany Linder, Jessica, Jimmy and Jacob Schicke.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in George’s memory are asked to consider the Hospice of Hernando/Pasco Inc., 12260 Cortez Boulevard, Brookesville, Florida 34613.
