It is with deep sadness that we announce the sudden loss of our dear cousin, George Tahinos, on Sunday, Nov. 9 as the result of a fatal cardiac incident. George was predeceased by his parents, George and Pauline. He grew up in Wayne, NJ and was a 1980 graduate of Wayne Valley High School.
From an early age, George was an avid collector of sports memorabilia and a skilled photographer, which became his life’s work with the professional wrestling community. In his spare time, he was an enthusiastic New Jersey Devil’s fan and a talented amateur bowler. He was a regular at the Hollywood Bowl in Oakland, NJ, where he served as treasurer of the league.
While in recent years George had unfortunately become estranged from his immediate family, we know he had many friends and work associates who will mourn his loss.
