George Ries, banker, youth sports leader
George E. Ries distinguished himself in the banking business but took time to mentor others, support youth sports - and always put his family first.
Mr. Ries was vice president of the former Central Trust Bank of Cincinnati when he retired in the late 1980s. He also was the first police judge in Crescent Park and later served as assistant fire chief in the city.
Mr. Ries, 74, formerly of Fort Thomas, died Wednesday at his residence in Cape Coral, Fla.
"In his business and his personal life, everybody just liked him," said a son, Dan Ries of Fort Thomas. "He was very well-respected in the business community, an innovator in banking and a mentor to a lot of young guys. He was very recreation-oriented, and his family was very important."
Mr. Ries was a native of Newport. He developed a liking for Florida when he was stationed in Fort Myers with the Army Air Corps during World War II.
Mr. Ries worked 40 years with Central Trust. He was an innovator in the field of indirect lending, which allowed consumers to finance cars at dealerships. Mr. Ries extended the practice to the sales of mobile homes and boats.
Mr. Ries helped organize and was a coach for the Campbell County Pee Wee Football League and was a board member and coach for Campbell County Knothole baseball.
His dad's position allowed a wide-eyed 10-year-old Dan Ries to meet players like Joe Nuxhall and Gordy Coleman of the Reds.

Other survivors include his wife, Norma Smith Ries; daughters, Barbara Litzler of Cape Coral, Fla., and Deborah Phelps of Blacksburg, Va.; a son, George Ries Jr. of Fort Thomas; a brother, Robert Ries of Bellevue; 18 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

J. Howard Sundermann worked
way up to Westerman president
J. Howard Sundermann of Kenwood was "part of the greatest generation - the generation whose lives were interrupted by the Great Depression and World War II," says Mr. Sundermann's son, Thomas Sundermann.
"During the Depression, my father had to drop out of high school at age 16 and go to work to earn money for his family," noted Thomas Sundermann. "Later, just as he was starting to raise his own family, World War II broke out and he had to go into the Army. But he found a way to overcome all the obstacles in his life and become a success."
Mr. Sundermann, 87, who died Thursday, rose through the ranks of Westerman Print Co. to become president of the firm that counted Procter & Gamble Co. as its main customer.
After his father lost his job during the Depression, Mr. Sundermann dropped out of Elder High School at 16 and went to work as a clothing salesman at Mabley & Carew department store in downtown Cincinnati.
"He never received any more formal education after leaving Elder, and he always bemoaned it," his son said. "He made sure his two sons received a good education."
Thomas Sundermann of Mount Lookout, an investment counselor, and his brother, J. Howard Sundermann Jr. of Montgomery, an Ohio 1st District Court of Appeals judge, are both graduates of Notre Dame University.
Mr. Sundermann went to work as a salesman for Westerman Print in 1940 and worked his way up, being named president in 1964.
"He was very, very focused and also worked very hard to be one of the nattiest dressers you've ever seen," his son said. "He shined his shoes every day and made sure he had a razor-sharp crease in his French cuffs."
Mr. Sundermann retired from Westerman Print in 1982, and he and his wife of 59 years, Mavis Sundermann, who survives him, began spending their winters in Jupiter, Fla., and their summers in Kenwood.
"His big hobby was golf," said Thomas Sundermann, who said he felt compelled to add that "while he was quite a golfer, he was not necessarily a good golfer."
Other survivors include six grandchildren and a great-grandson.
Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. today at the Thomas-Justin Memorial Funeral Home, 7500 Montgomery Rd., Kenwood. Funeral services will be private.
Memorials may be made to the Hamilton County Board of Mental Retardation, 4370 Malsbary Road, Cincinnati 45242, or to Cincinnati Restoration Inc., a mental health agency, 1322 E. McMillan St., Cincinnati 45206.
