Dear Joan and family - your dear George/father/grandfather was very special to me over many, many years at Bethesda, and even in recent years when you had retired to Innisfil.
My heartfelt sympathy to all of you. I would love to attend a Celebration of Life for George. With love from Laurie.

Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to the whole family. George always made us smile with his kind good-spirited demeanour. His wonderful sense of humour was always prevalent and will keep us smiling in our hearts. R.I.P. George, you will be missed. Doris and Don Bate.

Well cousin George, they say when you get to Heaven you revert to a best younger version of when you were in your prime. That being so, I feel sorry for all the girls you'll be chasing...but not half as sorry as I'll feel for you when Joan gets up there and finds out about your shenanigans !!! I, like so many will miss you. You were a very good man, and I was always proud to call you my cousin and my Friend.
See you later.
Cousin Andy and Linda Smart.
