Harold (Hal) T.
George
Apr 25, 1957 — Apr 17, 2026
Harold (Hal) T. George of Henderson, Nevada passed away after a brief illness on April 17th surrounded by family. The son of Harold M. and Margaret George, he was born and raised in Florham Park, New Jersey where he grew up as the second oldest of four brothers.
Harold was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Debi, whose love and partnership meant everything to him.
He is survived by his children, Amanda George of Austin, TX and Travis George of San Antonio, TX. He is also survived by his brothers, David George of Alpharetta, GA, Ray George of Florham Park, NJ, and Kevin George of Park City, with whom he shared a lifelong bond of humor and brotherhood.
Known in the family as the only left-handed brother, Hal showed his individuality early. A natural with numbers, he was the "numerical wizard" among the brothers and often teamed up with his brother Dave in playful mischief—usually at Ray's expense. He carried that same sharp mind and independent spirit throughout his life, never afraid to go his own way. He spent summers with his extended family of cousins and friends golfing and enjoying the Jersey Shore.
Named after both of his grandfathers, Harold George and Timothy McCarthy, he honored family tradition while forging his own path. He graduated from Walsh College in Canton, Ohio where his connection to family roots continued, and Ohio became a second home before he eventually settled in San Antonio, Texas.
Hal met the love of his life, Debi, in Cincinnati. Together they built a life centered on family, laughter, and shared passions. They later made their home in San Antonio, where Hal and Debi became enthusiastic and devoted fans of the San Antonio Spurs. In fact, they were members of the famous "Baseline Bums" fan group at the games cheering on the Spurs and generously giving back to the community. He also had a deep love for country music, especially artists like Willie Nelson, Pat Green, and Ashley Ray.
Hal and Debi shared a love of travel, especially to Hawaii, where they created lasting memories of wonderful times together across the islands.
Professionally, Hal built a distinguished career as an IT executive, known for his expertise in implementing complex software systems across universities. He had a rare gift for listening—truly understanding the needs of different departments—and bringing people together to create solutions that worked for everyone. Colleagues often said that if Hal believed something would work, it would. His work spanned institutions from community colleges to some of the nation's most respected universities, including Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, where his collaborative approach and insight left a lasting impact.
Above all, Hal was deeply devoted to his children and took immense pride in Amanda and Travis, celebrating their accomplishments and the people they became. He especially cherished the time he spent fishing with his son Travis—moments of quiet connection that meant the world to him and created lasting memories.
Hal will be remembered for his intelligence, independence, humor, and deep love for his family. He had a quiet confidence and a generous spirit that made people feel heard and valued. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the family he loved so deeply.
