George F. Hyrmer, age 82 passed away peacefully with his loving family by his side on December 22, 2023 at St. Ann's Hospital in Westerville, Ohio.
George was born on June 10, 1941 in Cleveland, Ohio. George came to Columbus to attend The Ohio State University where he earned both a Bachelor and Master degrees in Education. George taught algebra, honors geometry and computer math for 33 years at Westerville South High School.
After George retired from teaching he continued to stay very busy. He volunteered for Habitat for Humanity and worked at H&R Block during tax season. George lived his life to the fullest. He enjoyed traveling, watching his grandson play baseball, going out to eat, working in the yard and cutting wood for the wood burning stove.
George leaves behind his wife of 60 years, Darlene; two children, Kimberly (Jeff) Iatonna and Michael Hyrmer and one grandson, his pride and joy, Austin Iatonna. George is preceded in death by his parents and brother, Robert Hyrmer. It was George's wish to forgo any type of funeral ceremony.

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Hyrmer. As a student, I was profoundly influenced by his dedication, wisdom, and kindness. He played a pivotal role in setting the direction for my career in technology, inspiring me to pursue my dreams and equipping me with the knowledge and confidence to succeed. Mr. Hyrmer was more than just a teacher; he was a mentor and a guide. Please accept my heartfelt, belated condolences. May you find comfort in the cherished memories and the legacy of knowledge and compassion that George leaves behind.

I can only echo the message of condolence by Julie Miller. He was one of those teachers who was a wonderful, humble example of gracious generosity in sharing, but not imposing good teaching practices. As a four-year young teacher, the thirteen years I spent at Westerville (South), being exposed to teachers like George, was the core of my teacher training. I am glad I was able to attend some of the teacher alum lunches at Polaris Grill and thank him specifically for the advice he gave me as my first summer school principal in 1976 when he said "save the rule." I remembered that vividly when eventually assuming that same role. George graciously shared his quiet, but helpful wisdom. He will be m issed.

George was one of the "seasoned" teachers when I started my career at South. I loved the twinkle in his eyes, his great smile and that little chuckle. To watch his brain at work to solve some dilemma was truly a wonder to behold. What a good friend and mentor. I will miss him.

George was one of the young teachers at Westerville High School when I started teaching. He was a great colleague and friend. George taught thousands of students as well as colleagues. My sincerest condolences to Darlene and family. George will be greatly missed but not forgotten.
