Obituary - George Frank Ghiglia
George Ghiglia

George Frank Ghiglia, born on March 27, 1941, in Los Angeles, CA, passed away on December 23, 2024. 

George grew up in Southern California with his parents Frank and Eleanor Ghiglia and his younger brother, Frank Ghiglia. After three years at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, George married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Stevens. They began their family in Santa Barbara before moving to Reno in 1967. 

In 1971, George and Barbara settled in Fallon, NV, where they purchased 50 acres and embraced the farming life. Together, they raised four children, providing them with room to breathe and deep roots in the community. 

Never one to be idle, George contributed to his community in countless ways. He was an active member with the Optimist club, served on the Churchill County School Board, and held positions on the boards of several banks. George also coached youth football and baseball, owned a clothing store, developed several neighborhoods in Fallon, and pursued his passions for hunting, fishing, world travel, and riding his Harley. Above all, he loved spending time with his grandchildren. 

George was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 55 years, Barbara, in 2017. He is survived by his children, Jeffrey Ghiglia; Jennifer (Paul) McFadden; James (Lori) Ghiglia; and Jessica (Jesse) Nuckolls. He was blessed with and deeply loved his 12 grandchildren and cherished his 11 great-grandchildren.

Jeff - Although I never met your dad, there's not doubt he was a good man based on how well he and your mom raised you kids. Sending lots of love to your family during this difficult time.

C Comment author: Carl C. HagenComment text: What are MFNs and PBMs ?? ............................ From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
