George Mayol

George Walter Mayol died peacefully on September 19, 2020 after 88 memorable eventful years. He was born in Hayward, California, the son of George Walter Mayol of Pocatello, ID. and Emma Wilson of Aspen, CO. His mother played piano for silent movies, and at one time played the organ at the Salt Lake City Tabernacle. His father died when George was 4, and the family moved frequently. George married Jane Bresee with whom he had two sons, Kurt -57 (Debra), Erik 55 (Lisa). He is survived by his boys, his grandchildren, Hayley, Max, and Jake, and his significant other, Carlene Ringer. George spent most of his life in the South Bay Area, and proudly recounted stories of his paper route down the dirt roads that then were Redondo Beach streets. After a tour of duty, as an Army MP at the Presidio in San Francisco, George entered USC Dental School in 1956. He practiced dentistry in the South Bay for over 50 years. Dr. George was and is loved by his patients. George excelled in active sports, running, sailing, motorcycle riding. He and Carlene loved to travel, and spend time at Mission Hills CC in Rancho Mirage. He was a great cook. He and his son, Kurt were proud of Exit, an award-winning trimaran they built from plans. George was fun loving and a caring friend. He was noted for his ability to become fast friends with someone he met ten minutes ago. His memory was phenomenal; his story telling legendary. He will be missed. Plans for a memorial are uncertain because of the Covid19 complications. In lieu of flowers he would request donations to the American Parkinson Disease Association, 135 Parkinson Ave, Staten Island, NY 10305; or HERMAN OSTROW SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY OF USC 925 WEST 34TH STREET, LOS ANGELES, CA 90089-0641 (213) 740-2800
