Obituary of George R. Tomlinson
George R. Tomlinson, age 80, of Mansfield, PA, died Wednesday, December 15, 2010 at Corning Hospital, Corning, NY. George was born November 13, 1930 in Mansfield, PA, a son of Clifford and Reva (McCaslin) Tomlinson. He retired as a supervisor from Armco Steel Co. in 1980. George was a member of St. James Episcopal Church, Corey Creek Golf Course Mansfield, a previous member of the Lions Club and a U.S. Army veteran having served during the Korean War.

He also played semi-pro basketball with the Mansfield Ravens and football at Alfred University after high school and is one of the first inductees of the Tioga County Sports Hall of Fame.
