George Ilse Obituary
It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved George Ilse (Queens, New York), born in Bronxville, New York, who passed away at the age of 98, on December 8, 2025. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
Though his name may fade from the lips of time, the imprint George leaves upon the hearts of his loved ones remains eternally vivid — a testament to the depth of his spirit and the richness of his legacy.
He was loved and cherished by many people including: his wife Caroline Simon; and his sons, Peter, Robert and George.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the South Street Seaport Museum, honoring George's passion for preserving maritime history.
