A graveside service for George's family will be held Monday, August 30, 2021 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Mt. Moriah, 685 Fairview Ave, Fairview, NJ 07930.
George Allen Kirschenbaum passed away peacefully on August 28, 2021 after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 72 years old and is survived by his wife of 48 years, Sherryl, children, Jill and Greg, daughter-in-law, Kim, and grandson, Theo.
George was a lifelong resident of Stuyvesant Town and a graduate of Stuyvesant High School and the University of Toledo. He received his Juris Doctorate from St. John's University.
George was an ardent sports fan, especially baseball, and continued to root for the Giants even after they moved to California when he was a young boy.
Professionally, George was a union-side labor lawyer who travelled the country representing and organizing employees. Over the course of his 44-year career, he never wavered in his belief that every worker was entitled to a fair wage and benefits.
George loved to read, do the Times crossword puzzle, attend Broadway shows, and spend time with his friends and family. He was an amazing husband, father, and Apa (Theo’s nickname for him), and he will be sorely missed by all.
