It is with heavy hearts that the family of George Albert Doughty announces his sudden but peaceful passing on Friday, November 10, in his 69th year, at his home in Jarvis. Beloved husband of Nancy Doughty (nee Cassidy). Devoted father of Kate (Michael) Solomon and Michael Doughty. Cherished Grandpa of Lucy Doughty and Carter and Blake Solomon. George will be fondly remembered by siblings Brenda Doughty, Linda (Gord) Gill, Jim Cassidy along with many nieces, nephew and friends. George is predeceased by his parents, George Sr. and Dorothy Doughty and in-laws Walter Sr.
and Mildred Cassidy.
George was born in 1955, the youngest child and only son of George Sr. and Dorothy Doughty.
George grew up on the family farm on Sandusk Road and co-piloted many trucking adventures with his dad. George attended Lambs Corners and Walpole South Schools. From there, George went on to Hagersville Secondary School, where he met his high school sweetheart and wife of 48 years, Nancy. George and Nancy married in 1975 and spent their first years between Selkirk and Sweets Corners. In 1978, they welcomed their first child, Michael. Just a few short years later, in 1981, their daughter, Kate arrived. In the summer of 1981, the family made their way to Jarvis, where home
remains. George liked to stay busy, had several hobbies and was never short on stories. He was particularly skillful when it came to creating. George could build anything and the final product was always beautiful! The early nineties was the
introduction to the world of purebred dogs, where George along with Nancy, would meet life-long friends. Throughout the years, George enjoyed travelling to dog shows across Ontario, and as far as British Columbia. George was an avid camper and enjoyed as many excursions with Nancy and their grandchildren, as the seasons offered. George took great pride in the gardens, where he and Nancy would sit to enjoy quiet moments. A very humble man, George took pride in his family, his home, his work and everything he pursued. With a smile and no expectations, George was always ready to lend a
hand, often to complete strangers. No task was too big. George was a life-long truck driver, a career spanning more than 50 years. Driving was more than a job, it was a lifestyle. George started off driving a dump truck in the seventies. After the arrival of his son, George began driving for McBurney Transport, where he would remain for 30 years. From there and for the last 15 years behind the big wheel, George was a respected driver for L. F. Mattice Trucking, hauling agricultural
products throughout southern Ontario and New York State. George’s love of life and
people made him a quick friend and will be missed beyond measure.
