George Lee Rohrig Jr., 69, passed away on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at his home in Greensburg, IN. George was born on August 12, 1952, at home in Versailles, IN. He was the oldest son of Iris (Steele) and George L. Rohrig Sr.
George learned to work on cars at an early age, a skill he used throughout his life, and earned him the nickname “Grubby”.

In his spare time, he could be found “hanging out” at Milan Shell/Myers Marathon. George graduated from Milan High School in 1971. He loved his large family and rarely missed a family get together, especially all his “babies” – his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
