He was educated in Utica schools and was a graduate of the Utica School of Commerce. George proudly served his country as a US Army soldier during WW II. For many years, Mr. Nassar owned and operated The Food Center in New Hartford, relocating the business to Floyd in 1967. It has been said, that if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. That's the way dad considered his work. He was very lucky to be able to work with his best friend, his brother Joseph Nassar. He truly enjoyed all of his customers throughout the years, and many became long lasting friends. He looked forward to each morning, savoring a cup of coffee and solving all the world's problems with the "Coffee Club". Family was very important to him. He is survived by three children, George and Bea Nassar of Sauquoit, Jill Holland of Utica and Lisa and Robert Duncanson of Manlius; his grandchildren, Nicole and Andrew Miller, Jeffrey Nassar, Sabrina and Kristina Holland and Jack, Will and Sam Duncanson; and his great grandson Gavin Miller. He is also survived by his loving sister, Rose Nassar of Utica; and his devoted nieces and nephews, Richard & Anne Nassar, Thomas & Lynn Kassouf, Mary Ethel & David Vander Els and Patti Nassar. He was formerly united in marriage to Dorothy Papale Nassar. George was predeceased by a brother and sister in law, Joseph and Mary Nassar; and two sisters and a brother in law, Minnie Nassar and Alice and Thomas Kassouf.
