George Wilfred Ivey
1948-2017
George
Wilfred Ivey, eldest son of the late Murray and Marion (Vienneau) Ivey
died at his home in Gold River, BC on December 20, 2017 at the age of
69.
Born and
raised in Bathurst, NB he worked as a miner across Canada and
Australia before settling down in the forest industry in British
Columbia where he worked as a millwright until illness overcame him
about 6 years ago.
He was
semi-professional guitarist all of his life and played at countless
dances. He hunted a bit but mostly liked fishing.
He enjoyed a game of crib and basically read a book a day his whole
life.
George never
married. He practiced strict catch and release and did not
buy something when he could simply borrow
it.
His parents
are gone but he is survived by his siblings who are scattered across
the country.
There was no
funeral. A ceremony was held for him on December
23rd, 2017 at the Royal Canadian Legion where
the flags flew at half mast in his honor. His many many
friends will miss him. He was genuinely friendly, kind, generous,
forgiving and very funny.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of George Wilfred Ivey 19482017.source
