Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George William Notley, on November 7, 2022 at the age of 79. George is survived by his two sons, Christopher (Kim) and Paul, and his four grandchildren Claire, Hannah. Addison and Jack.
George was born in Toronto and was a salesman for most of his life. He always loved to get a good deal. He enjoyed making models and spent many weekends flying planes that he built himself. He also had a love of photography. In his retirement he was the local handyman helping out friends and neighbours wherever he could. George loved to read and would go through many novels while spending his weekends at his trailer, visiting with neighbours and tinkering on projects.
He was a kind and loving father and grandfather and his presence will be greatly missed. In the words of George “It’s been a slice!”
George cherished the following poem written by John G Magee Jr, a pilot killed in the second war is High Flight.
High Flight
by John Gillespie Magee
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, – and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air…
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew –
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
– John G Magee Jr.
