I knew George from all the years he was part of the Hamilton Police Service. He was a great guy and mechanic.
My heart goes out to the family for the loss of George. May he rest in peace.

George was a man of many interests and talents. I always enjoyed speaking with him in the Skunk Works in the Police Maintenance Garage. Quick witted and frequently insightful observations flowed from our chats. Peace be with you, George.
