April 7, 1951 - January 23, 2017 Kingman, Arizona George Robert Solomon, aka Mr. Clean, and cheap/cheap/cheap died on January 23, 2017 at the age of 65. George was the man who chose to show up for every broken bone, every chance to coach softball, every chance to go camping or fishing, every broken heart and every scraped knee. He taught not only our three children to swim but our dear friends two children as well. He adopted and was Dad to Jamie, Ashley, and Aaron Solomon. #LoveYouPoppa #SometimesFamilyChoosesYou He excelled at financial planning, mentoring many in managing their money. As he would say, "You can not afford not to save" when someone said they could not afford to save. As his friends would say, "he was old school". He loved to watch his "Alaska" shows, MMA, Law and Order (all franchises), and fortunately for our family, most Food Network shows. He was our chief cook since his wife, Diana (Ferrer) Solomon is no chef. His favorite vacations were travels to national parks in the US and visits with family in New York, Maine, Texas and California. As a supervisor for Union Carbide/ Praxair for over 25 years he had Popeye arms from moving thousands of pounds of steel cylinders while complying with various domestic and international regulations. George's work here is done. He received a call, the sort of offer you can't refuse, for an appointment from which he will not be returning. This assignment comes with a huge sign-on bonus, a reunion with family and friends he has not seen in a long time." He leaves his wife, Diana (Ferrer) Solomon, his daughters, Jamie and Ashley Solomon, his son, Aaron Solomon, granddaughter Acelynn Solomon, step-grandchildren Shelby Brown, Braydn, Cynthea, and Asher Emery, sisters Christine Perkins and Kathleen Randall, brother Joe Solomon, his beloved nieces, nephew, great-nieces, great-nephews, Goddaughter and Godson, and friends. He is preceded in death by his mother Evelyn Dolores Dillon and father George Solomon. Because of his belief that funeral services are barbaric, his family will uphold their promise to forgo any services. In lieu of services and flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to the American Cancer Society or Hope for Paws, the later being one of his favorite rescue charities. The family would like to thank the KRMC hospital and hospice staff who took great care of him. https://www.cancer.org/involved/donate/ https://hopeforpaws.nationbuilder.com/onetimedonation
