George Edward Dannehl
George Edward Dannehl, 86, passed away Wednesday, December 3, 2008, at his home in Idaho Falls.
George was born April 9, 1922, in Manhattan, New York, to Wilhelm August Walter Dannehl of Okachie, Okla., and Adelaide Vennard Dannehl of New York. George attended first grade at Emerson Elementary, and from the age of 8 to 15, lived in New York. He later returned to Idaho Falls after eighth grade, where he had learned a very strong work ethic. He was very good with his hands and learned many things as he went along. George later joined the Army Air Forces, where he participated in 48 raids and missions as a tail gunner for the 711th Squadron and the 8th and 15th Air Force. He was awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses.
On September 22, 1952, he married Zella May Freeman in Idaho Falls. They later divorced. George lived most of his adult life in Idaho Falls. He worked at Monroc for 27 years driving truck. He was a member of the Eagles Lodge, as well as the Senior Citizens Center and was a member of the Lutheran Church. He enjoyed many things, among which were visiting with the LDS Home Teachers, hunting, fishing, reading, building things, home improvements, pot luck dinners with his family, taking walks, playing pool, dogs of all kinds, the local parks and water falls, and most of all, he loved spending time with his family and taking care of the people he loved.
George was the perfect example of what a man and a father should be.
He is survived by his four daughters, Shirley Mae Wilcox of Iona, Christina Barriga of Idaho Falls, Rhonda Quilici of Iona and Dolores (Robert) Ybarra of Stockton, Calif.; four sons, Raeo (Bonnie) Dannehl of Idaho Falls, Henery (Mary) Dannehl of Shelley, Terry George Dannehl of Idaho Falls and Walter Don Dannehl of Idaho Falls; a daughter-in-law, Katsu Ko Kishiba (David) of Fairbanks, Alaska; and two sisters, Violet Hale of Illinois and Ruth Terrill of South Carolina; as well as 27 grandchildren and 38 great-grandchildren with two more on the way. His parents, a brother and a son, David Lorin Fischer, precede him in death.
Memorial services will be at 11 a.m. today, December 6, 2008, at Buck-Miller Hann Funeral Home at 825 E. 17th Street in Idaho Falls. A visitation for family and friends will be held one hour prior to the services. Burial will be in Rose Hill Cemetery with military rites under the direction of the Bonneville County Veterans Team.
