Campbell…George E. Hazimihalis, 69, passed away Thursday morning surrounded by family.

George was born on May 16, 1952 in Kos, Greece. He emigrated to the United States in 1979. 

George resided with his wife of 34 years, Penelope, in Campbell, where they raised their three children Maria, Katerina and Elefterios.  George was a loving husband, father, and brother who dedicated his life to ensuring his family lacked nothing.  A committed painter and co-owner of Morris Painting Inc., George enjoyed climbing power towers and working alongside his brothers and nephews until his retirement in 2017. George was known for his strength and endurance throughout his career. But at home, he was a kind soul with a great sense of humor.
