George Lee Zuskin

George Lee Zuskin, 88, of Disputanta, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 11, 2020. He was the son of the late Emil Lee Zuskin and Lillian Sebera Zuskin. He was also preceded in death by a brother, David Zuskin. He is survived by his daughters, Donna Goad (David) and Rixie Oglesby (Philip); son, Steven Zuskin (Jennifer); grandchildren, Krista Yarbrough (Chase), Ross Oglesby, Michael Goad (Kate), Kara Oglesby, Michele Goad, and Stephanie Zuskin; great-grandchildren, Declan Yarbrough and Patrick Yarbrough, brother; Dickie Zuskin (Ann) and a sister; Shirley Blaha. George Zuskin was employed with Hercules as a sheet metal fabricator. He was a proud union member of The United Steel Workers of America 13061, retiring after 35 years of service. He was a dedicated blood donor proudly displaying his pins on the lapel of his Sunday morning church attire. He rarely missed a Sunday church service or Sunday school class until his health began to decline. In his early years he enjoyed racing, rabbit hunting and gardening. He had a magical touch with tomatoes and enjoyed delivering them to family and friends. He enjoyed spending every Friday night at Southside Speedway and was given special press rights through the Progress Index to report the events of the night. He especially enjoyed the privilege of watching his son and son in law compete at Southside and other racing venues. He had a special love for dogs, and they had a special love for him, often spending more time at his residence than their own. His special sense of humor smile and sparking blue eyes will be dearly missed by all. The family will receive friends from 6:00 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, October 16, 2020 at the Hopewell Chapel of J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, 2020 at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Bethlehem Congregational Church Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Second Baptist Church, 3335 Johnson Rd. Petersburg, VA 23805, or to the Disputanta Volunteer Fire Department, 10000 County Dr, Disputanta, VA 23842 or the Prince George Emergency Crew, 10800 Prince George Drive Disputanta, VA 23842.
