Cherished by his loved ones for his intellect, humor, generosity, and thoughtfulness, George was deeply devoted to his family, finding his greatest joy in his 61 years of marriage to Janet (Karl) Yuhasz and his role as a loving family man.
George was born in Pittsburgh on February 9, 1939. He was an alumnus of Mt. Lebanon High School and proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering. A respected co-founder and Executive Vice President of Winchester Industries, George proudly dedicated over 40 years to the company he started with his business partner, Robert Weis in Saltsburg, Pennsylvania. Together they developed a triple-pane replacement window and door program renowned nationwide, reflecting his ambition, dedication, and innovative spirit.
George cherished his time in Pennsylvania and Florida, and was a longtime member of both Edgewood and BallenIsles Country Clubs, enjoying over 30 years of golf with friends and family, particularly with his wife Janet and son-in-law Michael. George had a lasting enthusiasm for college football and cheering on his beloved Pitt Panthers. He was also a devoted fan of all Pittsburgh hometown teams, especially making every Steelers game a fun family tradition.
George's enduring spirit and inspiration will continue to influence his family, Winchester Industries, and all who knew him, ensuring his impact will resonate for generations to come.
George is survived by his wife, Janet; children, Susan Sugrue (and husband Michael), Monica Turner (and husband Bob), and Debra Kurth (and husband Wally); grandchildren, Megan Sugrue (and husband Nick West), Kelsey Sugrue, Alexandra Gusdorf (and husband Eliot), Erica Turner, Abigail Sugrue, and Brogan Kurth and great-granddaughter, Cassandra Gusdorf.
He was predeceased by his parents, Clara (Mehlhorne) Yuhasz and George Yuhasz.
