AMHERST – George Robert Aubrey, 84, of Amherst died peacefully on Wednesday, December 9, 2015, at the Center for Extended Care after a stay of just five days.

George was born in Norwich, CT to the late John A. and Alicia (Bellows) Aubrey, the middle of their nine children.  The family moved from Norwich to Florence, MA, where George attended school, graduating from St. Michael’s high school in 1949.  He began his schooling for Pharmacology at Mass College of Pharmacy in Boston, MA, but was drafted and served two years in the US Army, stationed in Germany, from 1953 to 1955.  He completed his pharmacy training when he returned from Germany and started his career as a pharmacist in Northampton.  He married his late wife, Nancy (Butler), in 1957 and they had three children, David, Susan and Kevin.  The family moved to Amherst in 1963 and George continued his career at the College Drug Store in Amherst and then managed his own store, University Pharmacy in Hadley.  He retired from CVS in 1996. 

George was most proud of his home and his beautiful gardens and spent many hours enjoying the outdoors.  He will miss watching the bluebirds and other wildlife in his backyard and he will miss his wonderful neighbors on Valley View. 

George was predeceased by his wife, Nancy, in 1999 and is survived by his three children and six grandchildren, David Aubrey and his wife, Nancy, of Northborough (Matthew and Meghan), Susan Clark and her husband, Jerry, of Belchertown (Jennifer and Christopher) and Kevin Aubrey and his wife, Margaret, of Montague (Alysha and Natalya).  He also leaves his brother, Robert Aubrey and his wife, Shirley, of West Springfield and very dear friends, Robert and Louise LaPointe of Medway and many nieces and nephews. 

There are no calling hours, private burial will be in Wildwood Cemetery, Amherst.
