Georg B. Gehrung Jr. was born on April 12, 1946, in Pineville, LA to a military family. After many assignments, his family settled in Colorado Springs, CO. He graduated from Roy J. Wasson High School in 1964. He ultimately earned his BS from Regis University.
He met his wife, Nancy Neuman, during their freshman year of college. They married in 1967 in Pueblo, CO.
Georg retired from US West after 31 years in the telephone business. He was an original "Ma Bell" employee.
He is survived by his three sisters, Laura Sopko, Priscilla Myers, Peggy Dougherty and their families.
Nancy and Georg have two children, Melissa Mallonee (John) and Matthew Gehrung (Karen). They have celebrated eight grandchildren: Dustin (Lindsey), Amy, Marina (Sean), Julien, Levi, Emily (A.J.), Elyise and Estella, and two great-grandchildren: Emerson, Zaylee, and one more due in March of 2025.
The celebration of Georg's life will be held at St. Paul's United Methodist Church on Saturday, October 19th at 11:00am. A luncheon reception will be held immediately after at the church.

I am sad to hear of George´s passing. I knew George for many years through work at MTN Bell, U S West and Qwest.

Georg and I worked for Ma Bell in the 70s. Every football season we would play our football game every week. He was a good friend and never failed to exchange Christmas cards every year. I will miss you good buddy.

God broke the mold after he made Georg. He was a good and kind man--a talented musician who donated so much of his time to St. Pauls. I enjoyed hearing him play the guitar and sing. Perhaps this thought will be of comfort: "Death is not extinguishing the light. It's just putting out the lamp because the dawn has come."

Nancy and family. Please accept my deep sympathies for your loss. Nancy, I remember there were a few times we would be meeting at your home for sorority. He always said his hello then off to another room he went. After all these yrs I'm sure there are many many memories that will comfort you in the coming days, months and years. Please take care.
