George Barbu

A marvelous spirit has just left us and a little magic has gone out of the world.

A marvelous spirit has just left us and a little magic has gone out of the world. George Barbu passed away peacefully at St. Joseph's Hospital on August 22, 2022 at the age of 78. Loving Father to Danielle Barbu and Shelley Madison, brother to Betty-Anne and Al Dennis, and Uncle to Robert, Sam and Carla Dennis. Also survived by his Aunt Emily and many cousins. Predeceased by his parents George and Jean Barbu.

George was a proud father and a well respected entrepreneur in Burlington who led his printing company to a successful exit. His ability to connect with people was one of his gifts, and he maintained many lifelong friendships.

George "Pops" will fondly be remembered for his sense of humour, charisma and as a self proclaimed car nut and movie buff who loved to make others laugh. George cared for his family and friends dearly and was always the life of the party. Despite facing health challenges for many years, he was strong and always kept a positive attitude.

George was one-of-a-kind and will truly be missed by all who were fortunate to have been part of his life.
