PABST,

George C.

He cherished his 8 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren who all called him “Poppy.” He is also survived by two sisters, Joanne May (Larry) of MN and Mary Bernard Pabst (Kerrin) of TN.  A Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Brophy Chapel, 4701 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix, at 12 noon, on Saturday, January 17, 2015.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of George to Cristo Rey San Jose Jesuit High School,  Attn: Fr.

    I never met the man…Mr. George Pabst, but I do know his son, Charlie. It is said the apple does not fall far from the tree so I am assuming that the kind, thoughtful, caring, fun loving, smart, witty and resourceful person I know in Charley is a reflection in some regards to his father George. The loss of a father brings many feelings to light. Some surprising some sad and some so filled with feeling that it is hard to process at times. God bless you George Pabst…may you rest in peace.

    My most sincere condolences to the Pabst Family. George Sr
    Will be missed. Uncle George thank you all the rides down 59th Avenue when I was in high school. The many memories of my childhood include you and your whole family. To my cousins I know your dad will will be missed. To his grandchildren you have many memories of your grandfather and those memories will not go away. I suspect Bud and George are in the afterlife with a cold beer and perhaps a steak!

    Most sincerely,

    Coco and Romy

    I did not know Mr. Pabst, but I am blessed to know his daughter. Mr. Pabst did a marvelous job being a parent and raising such a great daughter who knows how to respect and care about people. My condolences to the Pabst family.
