I had not seen George for 40 years but I recognize him from the photo as the Chair of the Ottawa Hull Chapter of the National and Provincial Parks Association in the 1970s

It was 1963 when George and I first met. Both of us had been "convinced" to join the Canadian Militia - PLDG Regiment - for a summer "Boot Camp" for which we were to be paid the princely sum of $400. We became instant friends as most did with George; he was immensely likeable, even then. We shared our goals as we crawled in the mud - I would be a doctor, he would be a lawyer and we agreed that we would act for each other. Incredibly, that actually came to pass and I became his doctor; he became my lawyer, plus we were ski buds, diners Monday nights at the Prescott Hotel (square pizzas), and enjoying many trips and adventures. Our friendship carried on for years, and, although I left my actual practice in 1990 but carried on as his doctor for a while, eventually he had to find someone better to look after him as my career went international. George always enjoyed a good scotch, a good joke, and a good challenge. He will be missed greatly by his family, his colleagues and his friends, of which I am honoured and grateful to have been one.

George was a special person to me. He was my cousin, someone I looked up too. He gave the toast to the bride at my wedding, gave loving words of memories at each of my parents celebrations of live. He is someone who will be missed by a lot of people. Rip my friend, I will miss you so much.

My condolences to Chris, Kelly and everyone who loved George. He was a dear friend and I have fond memories of vacations our families took together.

I am incredibly saddened by the loss of someone who was a very good friend from our days at Carleton and his involvement in our family. I will always remember how kind and caring he was when I went through difficult times.
