February 16, 1928 — February 10, 2018

George A. Hermanson of Waukesha passed away unexpectedly at his home on Saturday, February 10, 2018 just 6 days before his 90th birthday. He was born in Ahmeek, Michigan on February 16, 1928 the son of Jacob and Elma (nee Isaacson) Hermanson. He proudly served his country in the United States Army.

George worked for Motor Transport Company for many years and was a member of the Teamsters Local 200 from 1951 until 1985. He enjoyed fishing, working on cars and was known as the family mechanic.
