George S. Whitman, Sr., 79, husband of Charlotte Lafferty Whitman and a resident of Machipongo, VA, passed away Sunday, December 4, 2016 at his residence. A native of Bayford, VA, he was the son of the late Edward Z. Whitman and the late Lillian Spady Core. He was a graduate of Northampton High School in Eastville, VA and received an Associate Degree from Goldey Beacom College in Wilmington, DE. George worked for Dupont for 40 years and after his retirement was employed in the finance department for Northampton County Public Schools.
George had a kind, soft-spoken way about him that made him incredibly enjoyable to be around. He loved to cook and have Sunday dinner together with his family all around. He enjoyed the outdoors, beach and playing piano in church, but he most especially loved his flowers.
