Wilfred George MacLeod
1943-2019
Sadly our brother, George,
passed away February 28, 2019, at the Dorothy Ley Hospice, Etobicoke,
Ontario, with his long time and loving companion, Olga Perka at his
side.
Born October 31, 1943, George was the son of the late George
and Margaret MacLeod of Sydney/Mira Road.
In his younger years, he enjoyed playing hockey, but his main
interest was boxing. George trained and was managed by the late John
Chechetto. George also had a long and successful career in the
Canadian Armed Forces. He loved fishing and returned home to Cape
Breton every May to catch “The Big One”.
George is survived by his faithful and loving companion, Olga
Perka and her family; his sisters, Peggy (Mike Mercer), Audrey
MacQueen, Anna MacLeod, Sharon (John Bailey), Barbara MacLeod and
Edwina (Junior Jaquard). He will be sadly missed by his life long
forever friends, Ron and Lois MacDonald, Francis and Carolyn Jones,
Gunter Blatter and his favourite fishing buddy, Allan Stapleton.
George was also blessed with numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and
grandnephews.
Cremation has taken place in Etobicoke. We will have a
service for George in Cape Breton at a later date.
George fought his last battle with courage and dignity. He
will be forever loved and never forgotten. Rest in peace, Dear
Brother.
Arrangements under the direction of Sydney Memorial
Chapel.
