It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of George William McPherson who passed away peacefully after a brief illness at the age of 86 with his loving family by his side on February 8 2022.

Last but not least, his best friend and companion, Charlie, who will miss his Arrowroot cookies. Dad was an avid truck driver and drove many miles to support his family. If you needed directions or got lost, you knew who to call. He also enjoyed travelling with Jean in their motorhome on many trips to Alaska, Newfoundland, Florida and The Keys. He would always follow and cheer the children for sporting events, loved a good game of golf, fishing and having coffee with his friends. A special thank you to the many family members and also Kristina for all her guidance, support and compassion. The family is beyond grateful and would have been lost without you. Dad, you will truly be missed by all of us, rest in peace until we meet again.
