Obituary of George Albert Corser

Let the horizon of our minds include all men, the great family here on earth with us; those who have gone before and left to us the heritage of their memory and their work; and those whose lives will be shaped by what we do or leave undone. George Albert Corser, age 87, teacher, engineer, inventor, and builder, died August 24, 2021. A lifelong lover of puns and crossword puzzles, he was born in Hibbing, Minnesota, to Adelbert (Hib) Corser and Mary Argir Corser. George was Professor Emeritus from Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU). He also taught at General Motors Institute, the University of Wisconsin, Washington State University, and the University of Colorado. He was the Michigan Professional Engineering Educator of the year in 1997 and was the first recipient of the Charles L. Tutt Award for Innovative Teaching. He dedicated his life to engineering education and was a Life Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society for Engineering Education, National Society of Professional Engineers, Sigma Tau, Chi Epsilon, and Sigma Xi. He was particularly proud of his work as President of the SVSU Faculty Association. He held patents in fluid flow and density meters. George is survived by his wife of fifty-nine years, Maureen; his children, George P. and DeokHee Kim Corser, John Corser and Kathy Jarvis, Carin and Richard Lang; his grandchildren, Laura and Marvin Corser, George E. Corser, John P. Corser, Joseph R. Lang; and his great-grandsons, Tristan Corser and Darien Corser. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the SVSU Scholarship Fund.
