The picture of George laughing was taken in my kitchen in N.W.Calgary. He had a great wit, a very big heart and an eye for colour like none other. His comment when I found my son was.."ya know, kid - somedays can change yer life forever!" We used to laugh about the sign on the wall in the Alano Club that said - AINT IT SWELL JUST BEING HERE? and then you would add..yeah and it don't get any better than this! I feel very privileged to have known you, George. Thank you for your humour and your wisdom.
To Darcy & Cyd; Please accept our condolences on the loss of your Dad. May your memories sustain you in this difficult time.
I first met George over 26 years ago! And, I always appreciate his warmth and kindness and generosity towards others.
Well George...Sorry I missed the chance to say good bye.. Meeting you, Don and Jeff is likely why I am still here today..your friendship helped me to be in a place enabling me to be part of my new found daughter's life. That drive to High River with you Don and Ted to get our backs fixed and the knowledge you passed on during the time I knew you will never be forgotten. Say hello to Don for me. I know you two are together where ever you are. My deepest condolences to Jeff, Brandon and the rest of your family and close friends. Rest in peace my friend!
