George Louis Holzknecht Jr., 95, of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away on October 28,
2022. He was born to the late George Louis Sr. and Frances Kiefer Holzknecht on September 6, 1927. He graduated from Louisville Male High School in 1945. He attended the University of Louisville, graduating in 1950 with a BS in accounting. While at U of L he excelled at intermural baseball (Pitcher) and basketball. George married Pauline Kay Warner in April 1950. He went on to work at Ford Motor Co., Hercules Galion (Galion, OH, 5 years), Louisville Mortgage, H&R Block (40+ years) and a couple others working into his late 70's.
George delighted in watching his grandchildren participate in their varied activities. He loved it all and loved these three beyond measure. He always enjoyed going out monthly with his Lunch Bunch of long-time buddies and all big U of L fans like him. In his later years, while living at Wickshire he liked to play cards and reveled in being the most popular fella on the dance floor with the ladies!

Holzknecht. George was also preceded in death by his parents, George Louis Sr. and Frances Holzknecht, sister, Marie (Bill) Lloyd and his brother and good buddy, Edward (Lois) Holzknecht.
