During WWII, he served in the U.S. Navy aboard the hospital ship the U.S. Haven. He treated thousands of the war wounded, including survivors of the atomic blast at Nagasaki, Japan, where his ship was sent just weeks after the city was leveled. Dr. Georgi suffered from radiation sickness. He tried to combat the illness with a combination of therapies, which were apparently successful, as he thrived for another half of a century.
Dr. Georgi practiced chiropractic for 45 years, 40 of which were at his Tujunga, California practice. He was a charter member of the ACA and an officer in the California Chiropractic Association.
Dr. Georgi is survived by five sons: Ronald, a chiropractor; Dave, a professor; Bill, a radio personality; Bob, a technician; and Ralph, an electrical contractor. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
A memorial website has been established for Dr. Georgi at http://frontpage.lightspeed.net/georgi/org/orgindex.htm.
