George Anders Nord, 91, of Wallingford, CT, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Masonicare. Born and raised in New Jersey, George lived in Fords, Edison, Lake Hopatcong, and Toms River before moving to CT 10 years ago.

George was married to his Woodbridge High School sweetheart, Margaret, for 66 years until her death in 2014.

At 17, he enlisted in the Navy and served on the USS LST 309 during the Normandy Invasion on D-Day, the Pacific Theatre on V-J Day, and received a Bronze Star. In recent years he joined his fellow veterans for the LST reunions and enjoyed his Honor Flight trip to Washington DC.

After the war, he began his long career in marketing and purchasing with Chevron Corporation.

In George's almost 70 year membership in the Vasa Order of America, he served in Lodge Lyckan #507, NJ District #6, and was later elected to Grand Master of the US, Canada, and Sweden. Together Margaret and George traveled extensively for Vasa which included meeting the King and Queen of Sweden and accompanying the 1993 Swedish American of the Year, Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, to Sweden.

George is survived by his children Nancy Lefkowitz and her husband Alan of Jupiter, FL and David Nord and his wife Elaine of Westport, CT. Missing their Pop Pop are his five grandchildren Matthew, Michael, Erika, Garrison, Dustin, and great granddaughter, Jade.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday at 10:30 am at the Flynn and Son Funeral Home 23 Ford Avenue, Fords . Interment will follow in Clover Leaf Memorial Park in Woodbridge. Visitation will be on  Wednesday from 6 pm to 9 pm.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Masonicare.org/support or the charity of your choice.

The family wishes to express its gratitude to the staff at Masonicare in Wallingford, CT for the care and friendship shown during George's 10 year residency.
