George and his wife, Mary, enjoyed splitting their time between

enjoyed collecting model trains, reading, walking and
hiking.

Rebecca and David; son-in-law, David Zborovski; daughter-in-law,
Danielle Sampson; sister, Barb (Hare) St.
Laurent; grandchildren, Julia, Annabelle and Gregory.

provided excellent homecare and allowed George to stay in his own home
until the final weeks of his life. As well, we would like to thank the
wonderful staff at Vimy Court for their care.
