Rochester, NY: November 15, 2021 at age 76. George is predeceased by his first wife Mariann S. Dlugoz (Sofranko), his second wife Deborah J. Dlugoz (Merritt), and his parents Joseph and Mary Dlugoz of Niagara Falls.
He is survived by his two sons Brian J. Dlugoz (Mandy J. Kralj) , Jeffrey M. Dlugoz (Vanessa L. Tuckey), his grandchildren Oliver M. Dlugoz (7) and Miles M. Dlugoz (4), and his sister Phyllis Paulk of Lewiston, NY.
George was a devoted father and husband who was always willing to help anyone in need. He worked for the Greece Central School district for over 32 years. A beloved middle school teacher at Arcadia and Brookside, he was known to have pulled a few memorable stunts in the classroom to keep his students engaged, including cartwheeling across the room!
George was an incredibly hard worker but in his leisure time he enjoyed activities with his sons, cheering on the Yankees, and weekly poker nights. As an avid fisherman, George could always be found near the water doing what he loved most, fishing with his close friends and family.
Visitation will be held at Rochester Cremation 1118 Long Pond Rd. Rochester, NY 14626 on Friday, November 19th 9:00am- 11am. Memorial service will begin at 11:00am following visitation and the funeral procession will leave to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery for the burial service at noon.
May peace and live surround you Brian and Mandy. And family to comfort you during this time of loss. May your dad’s spirit be free now to at peace no pain and free to travel where he wills it. Sending my love and condolences. .
I am honored to have shared my time here with my good and loyal friend. He had more influence on me and my career than he ever could have realized.
May he rest in eternal peace.

Mr. Beebe,
Along with Mr. Dlugoz, you were a special teacher and one I also remember as formative. Thank you!
Peace be with you, George, and let eternal light shine upon you…. I know you are in a better place. I will always treasure our times together especially the hours we spent trolling Lake Ontario. Your kindness and friendship will always be a special part of my life.
We send all our prayers to both Brian and Jeffrey, he was a great guy and we will miss him, you and your families are in our prayers always
George was an amazing teacher, a wonderful caring husband and terrific father. It was an honor to count him as a friend
Mr. Dlugoz was my 6th-grade teacher at Brookside from 1971 to 1972. He was a stellar man and teacher. I am sorry that he passed before I could say “thank you”.
