George Espy Ridgeway Kinnear II Obituary. Published by the Tampa Bay Times, Aug 16, 2015, page B9. Adm. George "Gus" E.R. Kinnear II made his final take-off Sunday, Aug. 9, 2015, from his home in York Harbor, ME, surrounded by his family flight crew who loved him dearly. He was born Jan. 12, 1928, in Mounds, OK, and raised in Brooksville. Adm. Kinnear began his Naval career in 1945, on his 17th birthday as a Seaman Recruit, received his wings in 1948, and retired in 1982, as a four-star Admiral. He made over 1,000 carrier landings and flew over 100 combat missions in more different types of aircraft than any Navy aviator. He earned several awards for valor, including the Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, and Air Medal. In between tours in Korea and Vietnam, he earned a PhD from Stanford University in Engineering Management. After achieving Flag rank, he served as Chief of Legislative Affairs for the Navy, Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic, and U.S. Member to the NATO Military Committee in Brussel, Belgium. After his retirement from the Navy, Admiral Kinnear served as Senior Vice President, Grumman Corporation, Interim President of the University of New Hampshire, and Chairman of the Military Officer's Association of America. He served on the Board of several U.S. institutions, including the University of Southern California School of Business, and the Aerospace and Compaq Corporations. "Gus" was humble, gracious, and down-to-earth, and was known for his humor and boundless energy. He played football for the Universities of Florida and Florida State and was an avid tennis player. his life was a shining example of the value of character, integrity, and valor, as well as devotion to his family and country. He was a true patriot and American hero, and we mourn his loss. Gus was predeceased by his parents, Neil and Mary; brother, Neil T. Kinnear Jr,; sisters, Patsy Crum and Peggy Carr; and sons George III ("Scooter") and P. Kim Kinnear. He is survived by his wife, Mary Cundari

Cundari; daughters, Kandace Kinnear Balazich, Holley Kinnear, and Christina
Cundari Vieglais; ten graqndchildren; and two great-grandchildren. |
