George
Anthony Grossi passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, May 17,
2014 in the presence of Mary Grossi, his wife of 67 years and all of
their children. George was born on October 15, 1920, the youngest of 11

on Novato Boulevard, west of town. As a young man, one of George's jobs
was delivering milk in cans to the Presidio in San Francisco during and
after World War II. When he returned with his truck to his Novato ranch,
he would quickly change his clothes and drive to Cotati, where dances
were often held. It was at one of these Cotati dances that He met petite
Mary Halter of Penngrove. They were married on December 28, 1946.
They
made their home on his Novato ranch, where they raised their three
children together. He was a devoted husband and father that valued his
family above all else. George was also a dedicated dairy farmer and
active member of the Marin County agriculture community throughout his
life. He was honored in 2006, along with his brother Jim, as a lifetime
member of the Marin County Farm Bureau. George was blessed to live 93+
joyful years near his family and loved ones. He was an avid outdoorsman

hiking) on his beloved land.

George D. (Annette) Grossi; daughter Carol (Rich) Ryan; daughter Shirley
(Robin) Nosecchi; nine grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren and
