George R. Landers, a longtime Salina resident, departed this earthly life and went to be with his Lord and Savior peacefully on Monday, May 27, 2013.
George was born in Childersburg, Alabama, on Dec. 28, 1917. He served in the United States Army during World War II and then joined the Salina Police Department in May 1956, retiring as a Lieutenant in June 1975.
In his free time, he enjoyed bird hunting, fishing, golfing and watching sports. However, perhaps his favorite activity was spending time with his family. All who knew George were better for it, and he will be missed dearly.
Visitation will be held from 2-3 p.m. Friday, May 31, at First Baptist Church, 843 Lewis, with services to follow.
Interment will be at Gypsum Hill Cemetery.
Ryan Mortuary, Salina, is handling arrangements.
