Obituary of George Henry Nagel

George Henry Nagel passed away tranquilly with his heart full of unconditional love and true peace on Saturday, April 22, 2023 at Morristown Medical Center. He had shared 97 years of pure joy, infectious laughter, dedicated service and unforgettable memories with family and friends.

Born to the late John and Mae Nagel, George and his siblings, John and Betty, were raised in Cliffside Park. After graduating High School, he earned his Bachelor’s Degree. George then went on to proudly serve our country in the United States Navy in World War II. Upon his Honorable Discharge, he was a hard and dedicated worker. He married his soulmate and best friend, Josephine (Militello) in 1955 and the rest is history. The happy couple settled into Little Falls and began a family of their own. George was a smart man; he owned and operated George Nagel Associates, an engineering design company, for many years before retirement.

George was patient and kind. He was a man of faith and family. He was our Patriarch, confidant, and everyone’s “Uncle George.” He was a one-of-a-kind gentleman that will be sorely missed and forever treasured. He leaves only joyful memories to his adored son, Drew; cherished granddaughter, Brooke; and many more dear extended family and friends.
