George Faulkner Obituary
Considered by many to be Newfoundland’s greatest ever hockey player, George Faulkner passed away on January 19, 2025, at age 91 with his devoted wife Barbara by his side. From the Exploits River in Bishop’s Falls to the arenas of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, George played the game at a level reached by very few. If hockey had not been his career he likely could have made a living with his incredible singing and guitar playing skills. He was the consummate entertainer. George had 54 wonderful years with his first wife Midge, who passed away in 2010. As fate would have it he found love again in the halls of a seniors facility in Grand Falls, and he and Barbara were married in April of 2023. He had a fabulous life, filled with success, love and laughter. George was also pre-deceased by his parents Lester and Olive, and his brother Lindy. Besides Barbara, George leaves to mourn his sons Bob and Peter (Andrea) and his Grandson George, who meant the world to his Grandad. Also brothers Alex (Doris), Jack (Edna) and Seth (Barbara), and sisters Marie Faulkner (Doug) and Betty Pretty (Ed) along with many extended family and friends. They include “Little” George’s mom Glynne Faulkner and her husband David Halley, and David’s kids Anna, Julie and Riley. Special thanks go out to Doctors Dean and Campbell and staff, who provided amazing care during George’s final days. Services to be held at Windsor Pentecostal Church in Grand Falls-Windsor at 2:00 on Thursday January 23, 2025. For those who are unable to attend there will be a live stream via Facebook. In lieu of flowers you may choose to donate to the Lionel Kelland Hospice in Grand Falls-Windsor.
