He was born in East Palestine on Feb. 1, 1934 to Michael and Lena (DiGrappa) Grappo. George was a 1952 graduate of East Palestine High School, and attended Youngstown State University Engineering School. He was a member of St. Charles Parish. He was a gifted mechanical design engineer with a prolific career spanning over 50 years. His peers characterized his work as flawless, always with a careful attention to detail in varied and complex industrial applications. His many other talents included fluency in Italian and he was a fantastic cook. He enjoyed camping, golfing, biking, skiing and playing cards with friends. Most of all, George enjoyed the company of family and friends. As an accomplished musician, George played the accordion, organ and bass. He played professionally in bands and combos in Greater Youngstown since the 1950s and most recently enjoyed his own group's repertoire of ethnic and popular accordion music. George was very proud of his Italian heritage. Twice he traveled to Italy, once with his sister Carolyn in 1995 and then again in 2005 with his son, Michael, to trace his family roots in Bonefro. The latter tour was hosted by the Mayor of Bonefro who assisted in locating distant relatives and the childhood homes of his parents. George is survived by his wife of one year, Dorothy; his two daughters, Marie Grappo of Boardman and Caroline (Ron) Angelilli of Canfield; his son, Michael (Rachael) Grappo of Boston; two stepsons, Terry Yonker of Hudson and Denny (Debbie) Yonker of Kent; and a stepdaughter, Sherry (Bill) Lain of Stuart, Fla. He leaves his siblings Carolyn (John) Gallagher of New Jersey, Mary Louise Andrus and Jim Grappo of East Palestine. He'll be missed by his four grandchildren, Lena, Renee and Ron Angelilli and Allegra Grappo.
