George M. Popelka, Sr.
The story of George began on February 10,1924 as the son of Martin and Mae Popelka of Cicero, Illinois. George had a younger brother (Martin) who although deceased, was a physicist and spent his career in the aerospace and defense industry. As a young man , George was very athletic and achieved distinction on the baseball field as a pitcher for the Berwyn Post 422 American Legion Baseball Team during 1941, when his team made the finals of the Legion Series played in San Diego, California. He also was an accomplished wrestler, winning the ISHA 155-pound middleweight class title during 1941 in Champaign, Illinois, representing J. Sterling Morton High School. During that year, George won his weight class with a series of 15 straight victories. During 1943, George entered the United States Navy during World War II and served in the Pacific Theatre aboard an LST, Tank Landing Ship, as a Bosun Mate Second Class. After the war, George returned to Cicero, Illinois where he both attended and played football for the Panthers of Morton Junior College. As a strong believer in education, George obtained his Associates Degree from Morton Junior College and then furthered his education by earning a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of New Mexico in 1950. Having earned his Bachelor’s Degree, he subsequently pursued and received a Master of Arts Degree from Northwestern University in 1954. George pursued a career in education beginning as a Sixth Grade Teacher at the Tobin School within School District 111, Burbank, Illinois. After beginning his career, he continued to serve for thirty-five years both as a teacher and then appointed principal, for the new Owens School in 1956. After that, he was moved to the John Foster Dulles School in 1960 now Liberty Junior High School, and finished his career in 1983 as principal of the Frances B. McCord School. One of his career highlights was meeting his future partner in life, Ms. Mary Ann Busch. Upon graduation she also began her career as a primary school teacher in School District 111, Burbank, Illinois where she met her future husband George, to whom she married and spent sixty-seven (67) wonderful years together. They became engaged on May 9, 1951, Mary Ann’s birthday and had one son, George, Jr. After retirement both George and Mary Ann were very active and celebrated their fiftieth (50) wedding anniversary by renewing vows aboard the Paul Gauguin off the coast of Bora-Bora. They would walk everyday at the Orland Mall when able and after their daily exercise, they would sit down and have a treat. Once completed George would talk with his fellow mall-walkers while Mary Ann would go shopping. George also was an avid golfer. His proudest moment on the golf course came on October 4, 1997 at Big Run Golf Club when he experienced a hole-in-one on Number 7, with his trusted five iron. Although the hole has since been changed, his ace came on the original green that was slanted downward toward the tee. George’s story sadly ended on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 at 6:40am. George will be missed by our caregivers (Izabella and Richard) as well as all of his former students and colleagues. On a personal note, George and Mary Ann were my rock. They both provided for our family and brought joy into my life as well as the lives of many others that will be treasured forever. I shall miss my Dad and Mom who loved me very much and served as my Best Friends. Visitation Sunday, July 19th from 2 until 8 p.m. Chapel prayers Monday, July 20th, 9:45 a.m. at the KERRY FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CARE CENTER, 7020 W. 127th Street, Palos Heights proceeding to Sacred Heart Church, Mass 10:30 a.m. Phase 4 COVID 19 mandates; masks are required to attend the funeral services; no loitering is allowed in order to accommodate all guests paying their respects Interment Sacred Heart Cemetery.

Mr. George, was a big part of my childhood. Taking all of us kids to the roller rink and the White Sox games. But if you were not on time when it was time to leave, he would leave you ! Lol I was always on time. We sat in the bleachers with Harry Carry. Who does that? A special person. I went to Dulles class of 1975 and those memories I talk about still today.
My condolences to his Family. And God Bless you Mr. George -
George Jr
I will see you tomorrow morning at Kerry for the prayer service, at Church for mass and at cemetery, if permitted. It seems we just did this for your wonderful mother. I knew your parents and you for over 40 years as an attorney and as a friend. They broke the mold when they made the two of them. Truly, both were "one of a kind". Be strong in their memories. -
My deepest condolences to you, George.May your father's name be for a blessing.

My dear, dear friend Jan, it is with great sadness that I learnt of the death of your loving son, Kurt. In this time of such great sorrow for you, I just want you to know that I am thinking of you and Kurt's family and pray that this sadness, that you all now must surely feel, may in time be replaced with sweet loving memories of Kurt.
I am sharing these words from the scriptures of my faith, in the hope that you might find some comfort in them. " The soul does not die and the soul is not born. It does not come into being with the creation of the body, nor does it perish with the destruction of the body. The soul is eternal. It knows no birth, is without death, is timeless and eternal."
May Kurt rest in peace. -
Jan,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. -
Kurt,
It was nice meeting you and Patty last year at grandpa Bob’s funeral. Grandma always spoke fondly of you and the time she spends with your family. I hope you received the best care from your nurses and doctors during your difficult fight with cancer. We are thinking of you and your family in Illinois from Chicago. I hope you are comfortable and without pain. -
Dear Grandma Jan.
My deepest condolences to you. I know the rest of our family is with you during this painful time. We love you. May Kurt rest in peace. -
Dear Pattie, Mitchell and Kelly. So very sorry of your loss. Steve and I are with you in spirit and you are in our thoughts.
Aunt Janice and Karl, words can't express our sorrow for your loss.
We will always Kurt for his smile and devotion to family and friends. And the love of fishing and the outdoors. -
To the Kramer Family, we are so saddened to hear about the loss of Kurt. He was such a family man and a good neighbor. Seeing him out in front working on his boat, he always waved Hi. We will miss him. Prayers to the Kramer family.
