George Roberts Obituary
Surrounded by the love of his family, it is with great sadness we announce the passing of George in his 78th year. Beloved husband of Marlene for 57 years. Loving Dad of Nancy, Kim (Duane Beales), Pat (Karen) and Tracey (Michael Petty). Adoring Bumpa of Kristy, Jennifer, Jamie, Shayne and Zack. George will be sadly missed by great grandchildren Kayla, Kallie, Ryan, Matthew, Timothy, Kaden, Abbie, Emma, sister Bev Barrett and sisters in law Elsie, Marg and Edna and many, many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Predeceased by parents Patrick and Edith and sisters Ger and Eleanor. George was a retired employee of Stelco. He will be missed by his baseball league H.O.S.S.P, Skyway Lanes Bowling League and by his friends at Grand River RV Resorts. He is especially missed by the "Old Farts". George loved anything sports related - baseball, hockey, football, hunting, fishing, anything he would watch and participate in them all. He loved watching his beloved Montreal Canadiens. We will miss him deeply. Visitation will be held at MARKEY DERMODY FUNERAL HOME 1774 King Street East (at Kenilworth) on Sunday, November 8, 2015 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the chapel of the funeral home on Monday, November 9, 2015 at 1 p.m. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of your choice would be appreciated.

I had the pleasure of playing outfield with George my first year in the HOSSPA league. Great memories - our team won the League & Playoff Championships that year. George was always smiling. A really nice guy & excellent ballplayer. Sorry to learn of his passing. He will be missed. My sympathies to his family.

Dear Marlene, Nancy, Kim, Patrick and Tracey and all of your families. I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I considered George to be one of the best. Always cheerful and smiling - and his laugh was unforgettable. He will be remembered with much fondness. Big hugs,Sandra Hart (nee Wunderlich) xoxox

Our condolences to Marlene and the rest of the family, at this very sad time. George was a great guy, we are going to miss his laugh, his smile and his kind heart. "I will miss him whistling at me from down at your trailer to mine" May he rest in peace now, and may we all meet again one day. Cherish all your wonderful memories.

George was a very special person always smiling and helping his neighbors. His flowers were beautiful and colorful. He will be greatly missed at the trailer park, especially Hickory Hollow. Pretty sure he will be playing baseball in heaven. God always takes the special people away from us much too soon! We offer our deepest sympathy to Marlene and all his family and friends.

George was the best neighbor you could ask for. Always cutting our grass and helping us carry groceries in. Before I retired I would come out to my trailer and find my grass already cut. That was such a treat. He continued to cut my grass even after I retired. He always beat me to it. I will miss his laugh and my mother (92) will miss his hugs. Our heartfelt condolences to Marlene and her family. I know he will always be watching over you all.
