George leaves behind his devoted wife, Joan of 61 years. Together they built a life filled with love, family, and many memories. He will be forever cherished by his daughters, Christine (Jim) and Maureen (Tony). He was a proud and loving Poppy to his grandsons, David and Lewis, and his great-granddaughter Madison. He also held a special place in his heart for his niece Ashley.

George will be fondly remembered as a special uncle to Maxine (Ed) and Georganne (Ter), as well as by his many nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of friends and family whose lives he touched with his kindness, warmth, and sense of humor.

George worked in customs for 34 years and was proud of the years he dedicated to his job. Outside of work, he truly enjoyed the simple things in life. He loved to hunt and fish and spend time at BIK Lake in the cabin with close friends Clayt and Lin. Those times meant a lot to him. He also enjoyed watching the Blue Jays and playing softball.
