GEORGE HALAS Obituary
GEORGE WILLIAM HALAS October 2, 1936 - March 28, 2014 With heavy hearts, we let go of the amazing and strong spirit of our husband, father and Papa, George William Halas, to be with the many loved ones that have passed before him. He fought with every ounce of his strength, but never lost his humour, concern for his family or his indomitable spirit. He leaves behind his beloved wife and best friend of 53 years, Bunny, his cherished sons Christopher (Teri) and Mikey (Nancy) and precious granddaughters, Julia and Sarah. George went to sleep with a kiss on his lips from his adoring granddaughter, Julia, wishing him a good night and surrounded by the love of his family. Afterglow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one, I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that I leave when life is done. A private cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research or the Humane Society of your choice.
