George Lord Obituary
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George Hammond Lord, a cherished husband, brother, and friend. Born on September 13, 1938, in Brockton, MA, George Lord passed away on October 7, 2024, in Newport.
George found his passion for sailing at the age of seven, a hobby he pursued fervently throughout his life. His love for the sea extended to his membership at the Newport Yacht Club, where he and his beloved wife, Rosemary Lord, shared many joyous moments together.
After transferring from Cornell University, George obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from Northeastern University. His engineering acumen led him to a successful career with RCA, shaping the world of computer design. George was a skilled craftsman; he took great pride in building his duplex home in Killington, VT, a place he cherished deeply. In his spare time, he enjoyed crafting Adirondack chairs and birdhouses, leaving a legacy of his passion for woodworking.
In addition to his wife, George is survived by his brother, David Lord, as well as several nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly. He also leaves behind a circle of lifelong friends in Killington.
May George Lord's memory live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, forever treasured for his kindness, expertise, and the legacy he leaves behind.
Burial will be private.
