Jonckheere, George Henry (October 30, 1933 – February 6, 2022) –
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, George Henry Jonckheere, at the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital, on February 6th, 2022, at the age of 88. Born in Middleton, to the late Cyriel and late Hilda (Dedeere) Jonckheere. For many years, George farmed tobacco alongside his late wife and family at Jonckheere Farms Ltd., RR5 Langton. In his spare time, George was an active member with the former Vienna Lions Club and member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #524, Port Burwell. All-American Trapshooting was a chosen passion for George, and he was proud to establish and operate “Hemlock Explorations” for several years (gas well exploration). George is predeceased by his much-loved wife of 55 wonderful years, Alison Jane (nee Sutherland) Jonckheere (Dec. 16, 2011). Always a caring father to Jeanne Jonckheere, of Tillsonburg, and Michael (Margaret) Jonckheere of RR5, Langton. Proud grandfather of Alison, Bradley (Bekah), Amber (Keith) and great-grandfather of Lydia, Raven, Phoenix, Alaska. Survived by a special friend Margaret Esseltine, of London.
