In Memoriam: Salvajor’s George Hohl Jr.

George Hohl Jr., CEO of The Salvajor Company, died Dec. 31 at age 70. Mr. Hohl long ran the Kansas City, Mo., company founded by his father in 1944; the manufacturer of waste disposers and handling systems is now in its third generation as a family business. Services will be held Jan. 5 in Kansas City. Mr. Hohl was known for his kind nature and dedication to the University of Kansas Jayhawks, and his avid support of the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals, as well as local performing arts groups.

He was preceded in death by his wife of 42 years, Carol; and is survived by his sister, Judy Hohl; three sons, Chris, Gregg and Matt; and three grandchildren. The family also says he will be missed by “his two beloved black labs, Ray and Sally, as well as all fine bars and restaurants.”

The family has requested that rather than flowers, donations in Mr. Hohl’s memory be made to the United Way, 1080 Washington St., Kansas City, Mo., 64105 or the Diabetes Foundation, 9444 Nall Avenue, Overland Park, Kan., 66207.
