GEORGE KIMAK's Obituary
George Kimak, 84, of Milford, and formerly of Pennsylvania passed away at the Delaware Veterans Home in Milford, DE. He was born on February 22, 1929 to the late John and Helen Kimak in Vintondale, Pennsylvania. In addition to his parents, he is also preceded in death by a brother, John Kimak of Las Vegas, NV. He was a career servant to the Country, having spent a 20 year career in the US Army and was a veteran of Korea and Vietnam, and after leaving the service, he joined the US Civil Service working in the Department of Defense. He raised two children with his wife, Rose Marie, who preceded him in 2000. He was amusingly known as a ""sweepstakes sleuth"" because of his amazing luck, or skill in entering sweepstakes. He won a car, a truck, five TV's, numerous trips and other prizes - and was always generous in giving the prizes and awards away. He loved to play the lottery, and won that several times too! He loved to travel, and was a ""major animal lover."" He is survived by his daughters: Linda Gummel, and husband, John of Millsboro; and Phyllis Hollenbeck, and husband Robert, also of Millsboro. He also is survived by siblings: Mary Shea, of Ohio; Nick Kimak, of Las Vegas, NV; Pauline Jones, of Vintondale, PA and Ann Sturms, of Dillsburg, PA, along with two grandchildren. He also leaves behind his beloved canine friends, ""Fiddy"" and ""Jenny"" who he always treated to MacDonald's when out with them. A viewing and visitation with vigil service will be held from 6:00 PM till 8:00 PM at the Watson Funeral Home, 211 S. Washington St. Millsboro, DE on Wednesday evening, August 14. The Vigil service will begin at 7:00 PM. Interment follows on Thursday, August 15, 2013 at the Indiantown Gap Federal Veteran's Cemetery in Annville, Pennsylvania with the conferring of Military Honors. Time for the interment is 12:30 PM.
