Micheline, and all family members, I am so sorry to hear about George’s passing. Only saw it in the Northern Life. I miss him at Club 50 in Chelmsford, On., where we all played Darts every Wednesday afternoon. Pierrette Morin and I were talking about the candy kisses he would give her every week, and different candies to us all, and his jokes, always a good humored friend to us all. He left us with great memories to cherish. Deepest Condolences to all of you. R.I.P. GEORGE. We will be missing you. Jackie Laurin, Pierrette Morin. Take care Micheline xo

Fran and I first met George in 1978 when we relocated to Sudbury.
As our landlord at 22 Indian Road he was quite a character. Always up for a good time and a practical joke or two. We quickly became good friends.
I still have the plaque he made for me honouring the first ‘hammerhead’ trout ever caught on Nelson Lake thru the ice.
I also recall the day he moved all of Terry Hick’s apartment furniture onto his balcony, while he was away on his honeymoon.
George had a great sense of humour and loved to give as much as receive practical jokes.
He will be missed.

Micheline, I’m so sorry to hear that George is gone. I enjoyed getting to know both of you, and missed you after you moved. George was one of a kind.
Love, Alice

George was like family to us, we new him
Many years, he always kept us laughing.
He would make home made Christmas
Cards that have us a good laugh. You will
Be greatly missed we love you and now
Rest in peace our dearest friend.
Love always
Bev and Bernard Morel

I have fond memories of Uncle George and his antics: The Knight of the Axe, rotten egg gas, the picture of his Pride and Joy, folding cloth napkins to look like a rabbit and bikini in the restaurant, playing Hearts until the wee hours of the morning, talking about family, telling jokes and laughing until my sides ached, having he and Micheline live in NB, his love shown in his own unique way, making jigging hooks for me(some of which I still have), cutting his hair and the associated comments of having too much head for such a small amount of hair. I will miss him and am happy for all the memories. All our love, Jonathan, Kim and Bradford.
