George Russell Sutliff November 20, 1928 - March 1, 2015 George and Shirley Diane Sutliff moved to Hesperia in 1994 after spending 42 years at their home in Pomona, CA. Together, they celebrated their 64th Anniversary last October 7th. He had been a fixture at Victor Valley Bowl. Enjoyed golf and playing the guitar, cooking and family gatherings. He was preceded in death by his oldest daughter Victoria LeeAnn Smith in 2010. He was father to Lynne Francis Pennington, George Michael Sutliff, Todd Anthony Sutliff, Christopher Paul Sutliff, Theresa Marie Partin and Ted Matthew Sutliff; grandfather to 19 and great-grandfather to 15 children. He was the youngest of 7 and is the last to pass of his generation. He had a stroke in 2007 and had been unable to walk or talk since, but it never dulled his spirit. No one could come to his house without first stopping at his chair or a hug and a kiss before being allowed to greet anyone else in their home. He worked most of his professional life in the trucking and construction industries. His smile and sense of humor was infectious. He will be sorely missed, but cheerfully remembered by all who he came in contact with him.
