Bellingham Artist and Professional Cartoonist Dies on October 19
"I wish I knew of a better venue in which to share the news of George Jartos' passing other than Facebook, but after reading the loving comments and seeing such great pictures that have been posted on his wall today, I think now that perhaps there could be worse.
George passed away at his Railroad Avenue apartment on Wednesday, October 19, 2016, of unknown causes.
He had been hospitalized earlier this month for foot surgery. His foot became severely infected and he remained in hospital for several days. From there he was sent to a rehabilitation center for further treatment which was estimated to last for 30 days. Within a week's time of his stay in rehab, George returned to his apartment presumably to pick up some art supplies for cartooning. There has been some confusion about whether he returned to rehab or stayed home, but we know that on Tuesday, October 18, he was at home and had visitors.
He was 74 years young.
Plans are in progress to celebrate George's life, his artwork, and the many fine friends he has made through the years.
Due to extenuating circumstances I'm unable to provide you with any more information at this time, but I will update as more is revealed.
Thank you so much for the pictures and comments; please continue sharing."
