I will always remember George for his kindness, his gentle nature, and how much he loved his family. Some of my favourite memories are of him with the grandkids and how they loved being with him. My heart goes out to all the family. He will be missed. I’m glad he is with Nadine. George, give her a big hug from me. Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear of George’s passing. George was always a good friend, and his compassion for the “boys” was an inspiration. Roxanne and I wish Arlene and family all the best.

My heartfelt condolences to Arlene, George’s children, siblings, extended family and friends. It is very difficult, at this time, to hug, support, sing and pray together as our communities do to be there for each other. Just know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as we send love and support. Rest in Paradise George.

We send our sincere condolences to Arlene and the rest of the family. George was a good friend and neighbour to us in the Moose Mountain district along Highway 41. He helped guide many young souls through turbulent times always considering them before himself. Rest in peace, George.
