George K. Overman, 89, of Indiana, passed away on Tuesday, December 29, 2020 at Indiana Regional Medical Center.
He was born on May 12, 1931 in Homer City to Thelma (Gardner) Byers and George M. Overman.
George began working at age eleven gathering firewood and doing odd jobs. He used his earnings to help support his family. As an adult, he was employed by Henry Hall, Inc. before he was drafted into the United States Army in 1952. George was stationed in Pirmasens, Germany at a transponder station. Upon his return to the United States, he took the Civil Service exam and began working as a clerk at the Indiana Post Office in 1963, eventually becoming a night clerk. During his 33 years of service, George was the President of the Local 5225 American Postal Workers Union from 1972 to 1989. He was the local Secretary for the A.P.W.U. from 1989 to 1993 and the local Steward after that. At one point in his career, he was the Vice President of the A.P.W.U. for
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) The record-shattering number of letters and packages the postal service has been trying to process is only one reason for a delay in mail delivery.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 100 postal workers across the country have died from the coronavirus.
Officials from the Postal Workers Union say, just last week, 18,750 postal workers were under quarantine because they were either diagnosed with COVID-19 or exposed to it.
Nick Casselli, president of the local union chapter, says the Philadelphia-area is no exception.
He says several positive cases are being diagnosed and reported every day. When you come to work and your co-worker comes up positive with coronavirus as dangerous as it is, and how harmful it is. It s scary to come to work, Casselli said.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) Problems with packages in the mail are popping up across Indiana, and the Postal Service said it’s trying to keep up, but the volume of packages is larger than ever before.
News 8 has received dozens of reports of shipped orders only showing “in transit” when tracked. People told News 8 that not only is it impacting holiday gifts, but it’s also caused business owners to lose money.
Gregory Jones, president of the Indianapolis area Local 130 Postal Workers Union, said during the holiday season that post offices would see upwards of 500,000 pieces of mail on the busiest day. Now, that number is being reached and exceeded nearly every day.
