George W. Carmona passed away peacefully at his home in Collingswood, NJ on October 8, 2025 surrounded by his loving family. Age 94 years.
Beloved husband of 65 years to Joan M. Carmona (nee Blickley). Loving father of David (Gabrielle) Carmona of Atco, NJ and William Carmona of Winslow Twp., NJ. Devoted “Gramps” to Luke, Carli and Daria Carmona. Dear brother of the late John Carmona. He is also survived by nieces and nephews.
Born and raised in Strathmere, New Jersey, George graduated from Ocean City High School. Following graduation, George enlisted in the Navy when soon thereafter he served in the Korean War. Upon his return, he enrolled in Drexel University where he earned his Degree in Business.
George started his career in Hotel Management then moved onto specializing in Casino Management. Post retirement George remained active in the Hotel and Casino industry while serving as a consultant for ground-up construction of casinos in the Caribbean as well as Native-American owned land.
George was an avid boater and fisherman and had a great love for the game of squash. In the fall, vacations always consisted of a trip to the Outer Banks.
The later part of George’s life included, with his wife, visits to an extensive list of countries and islands.
And a love of fine dining and cooking remained a constant throughout George’s life.
George was known for his witty responses: “you are full of prune juice” being one of them and when asked how he was he would always say, “miserable and grouchy, but consistent. Oh, “and it’s all your fault” And, “now you know everything.”
Relatives and friends are invited to attend his visitation on Friday, October 17, 10:00 to 11:00 AM at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 820 Haddon Ave, Collingswood, NJ 08108. Prayer service will follow at 11:00 AM. Interment private.
