George Frederick Conn, 77, of Humble, TX died suddenly in his sleep on Monday, August 30th.

George was born July 30, 1944 the only son of George A. Conn and Veola Provost in Ann Arbor, MI.

George graduated from Ann Arbor High School and had a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Michigan. After high school he joined the Navy and served aboard the U.S.S. Holder DD-819. The Holder was known for its outstanding service during the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, when the introduction of offensive missiles into Cuba forced President Kennedy to proclaim a naval quarantine of that island. Holder and other ships took up station so as to intercept and inspect shipping. The destroyer made an inspection of a Russian ship leaving Cuba on 8 November and remained on this duty until 21 November, when she steamed to Norfolk.

George will be remembered for his smile, laughter, generosity, fun loving ways, and of course his electric red hair which is a Conn family trait.

He was a Loving Husband, Brother, Uncle, Father & Grandfather. He will be Loved and Missed and in Our Hearts Forever.
