obstetrics and gynaecology in

enjoyed practicing medicine. Over
the years he helped hundreds of

present at the profoundly joyful
moment of birth. He was loved by
his patients and respected by his
colleagues.
   Following the death of his wife and
soulmate, Sheila, George settled in
Victoria, B. C. to be closer to his

live on in the memories of those
who loved them. George will be

(Andrea Jellicoe) and Jennifer
(Art Prowse); his grandchildren,

bliss; If there is none, he made the
best of this.'
