GEORGES PACHET December 21, 1920 - January 12, 2001 On Friday January 12, 2001 after a brief stay in Sharp Hospital at his chosen winter home in Mazatlan, Mexico George passed on to a better life.

Georges sons and their families are thankful they were given the joy of celebrating his 80th birthday and the Christmas season with their parents in Mazatlan. Dad was in excellent spirits during this quality family time. His infectious laugh and sparkling blue eyes were ever present on the beach or out about the town. Dad was a "gadget-maker extraordinaire", always ready to fix or improve anything that needed it. We loved to hear his stories and experiences which he shared with zest and animation.
