George L. Pintea

Boardman- George L. Pintea, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, and esteemed business leader, passed away peacefully at his residence on May 10, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He was 78 years old. George, who was born on May 26, 1945, in Youngstown, OH, to the late George and Julia (Benish) Pintea, led a life marked by devotion to his family, a passion for his work, and a commitment to his community.

After graduating from Carson Long Academy in Pennsylvania, George honorably served his country in the United States Army. He then embarked on a remarkable career, culminating as the Executive Vice-President of Piping Rock. His legacy in the business world was also defined by his foundational role at Nature's Bounty, where he dedicated 45 years.

Throughout his career, George was recognized with numerous accolades, including Vendor of the Year and Employee of the Year, a testament to his intelligence, dedication, and leadership.

George's life was a reflection of the love and passion he had for his work and family. Those who worked with him often became extended family members, and he generously shared his entrepreneurial spirit by mentoring others in business. George's influence extended beyond the boardroom and into the hearts of many.

Outside of his professional endeavors, George found solace and joy in the greens and fairways of the Tippecanoe Country Club, where he served as Vice-President. His love for golf was only matched by his enthusiasm for fishing and boating, activities that brought him closer to nature and provided cherished memories with friends and family.

George's legacy is carried on by his beloved wife of nearly 48 years, Cheryl Pintea (Tepper), whom he married Sept. 11, 1976 of Boardman.  He was a proud father to his two daughters, Holly (Dr. Booker) Bair and Heather (Dr. Robert) Moser, both of Canfield. His role as a grandfather to Brinkley and Tyce Bair; and Hadley and Hudson Moser, filled him with immense joy and pride. George's presence as a loving, intelligent, and passionate family man will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life for George L. Pintea will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. at Old North Church, 7105 Herbert Rd., Canfield, with Pastor Chris Drombetta officiating.
