George was a good neighbor of ours when we lived on Victoria street here in Orangeville. He would always come over and talk to us, he sometimes came over for a cup of tea. George used to make wishing wells for people to put in their back yards. I remember when he gave us one, it was really nice, we put flowers in it. I used to go over to his house for a game of pool or shoot some darts,those were good times, thank you George.
Our thoughts go out to George’s wife Alverna and their children, Susan, Brenda, Denise, Julie and of course all the the grand kids.

Condolence from Mike, Debbie and Keri Egan on February 21st, 2013 3:14 pm

Dear Brenda and Eric the apple did not fall far from the tree as neighbours it’s comforting to know you live next door. I came to know dad from the hospital as a patient that always came in with something for the staff. His positive attitude and a friendly face all of us looked forward to seeing George. The help dad gave us with the backyard in the summer in the rain. A man that stood out, a life cut short before his time we can get comfort knowing our Heavenly Father feels our pain so hold on to his right hand and let him comfort you at this difficult time.

Condolence from Debby Moffat on February 21st, 2013 5:53 pm

Dear Alverna, Brenda and Families,

thoughtful ways were cherished by all of us! I am so sorry for your
loss and will always think of him often and with a smile.
