George Patrick McEldowney Obituary

who else but "Mazzard" (George) would pull over in the car while traveling up the pass to Ojai, see a wildfire and use his ingenuity without any fire trucks or water present and tell everyone in the car to use their God given male gift and attempt to save that wildfire from burning uncontrollably. And he was one heck of a basketball player. God Bless you George. I'll miss you "Mazzard"!

As kids, I "borrowed" money from my mom's purse to buy toys that I used to share with George. I got caught one day because someone asked the wrong questions. Thanks George.

I'll miss you Patrick.

I am so sorry for your loss. I got to know Heather and her mom at LCC varsity girls soccer games where Heather and I were assistant coaches. We had fun kicking the ball around. George was a super nice person who would show up one and sometimes two hours before his own soccer game at the Y to see if he could help my team as we were often short a goalie. I'll never forget that selfless gesture of kindness. God bless you George. John Condos

Dear McEldowney Family,
We are so very sad to hear about George's death. Please know you're in our thoughts. I loved getting to know him last summer as we walked the SDA track for the Relay for Life. He was so kind, funny and positive--a little shy, but friendly, nevertheless. "No Time for Tumors" was a wonderful presence at the Relay. We send you our most sincere condolences.

Who else but George would volunteer to paddle next to a crazy swimmer like me in a 10 mile ocean swim? He was what I always called my surfer buddy and my best friend in college. He was fun and had a great sense of humor. I believe he had a good life with a wonderful wife and kids. I am happy for that. He will live fondly forever in my memories. He made a real difference in life. I hope we are all so lucky to have loved and be loved. God rest his soul.
