On January 4, 2023, at age 60, George J. Spellman of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania was killed in a workplace incident. Brother to Matthew J. Spellman and husband to Jodi B. (nee Shimock) Spellman, he is also the proud father of Catherine S. Spellman.
George was born to James J. Spellman and Catherine (née McGinley) Spellman in Darby, Pennsylvania. He attended public schools in his hometown of Garrett Hill, Pennsylvania, and in 1980 he received his diploma from Archbishop Carroll High School. His official education was complete, but his need for information and mastery of new skills was not. George put his energy into starting his own contracting company, which he named George J. Spellman Inc. As a member of the local equestrian community, George was an essential element of the Devon Horse Show for the past 35 years.
George was a master of several trades: gardener, cook, hunter, and guide. George loved to cook for his family and friends and was known for his elaborate Thanksgiving dinners. George was a friendly and giving person who always went out of his way to help his loved ones and the people around him. His good deeds included everything from making personalized birthday cakes to preventing or easing the effects of various disasters. Many people have George’s number programmed into their speed dials because he was so reliable and helpful in times of crisis. On occasion, George would appear before you even realized you required his assistance.
He was the definition of a self-made guy who devoted himself to improving the lives of others around him. The most important things in life to George were bear hugs and, without a doubt, making other people happy. George was a unique individual, a natural born leader and jack of all trades. George spent his final moments doing what he loved most: leading his squad into the next challenge with his boots laced tight and a smile on his face.
The Class of 1944 Chapel at The Episcopal Academy will host a memorial service for George on Sunday, January 15, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Donations to the Garrett Williamson Foundation or the Arbor Day Foundation are welcome in lieu of flowers.
