GEORGE THOMSON Obituary

THOMSON, GEORGE ALBERT (Proud driver of Miss Behave – Mercury Meteor '49, Chapter 4 Blue Knights, Loblaw's (29 years) Legion Branch 139) It is with great sadness we announce the passing of George Thomson on Tuesday, October 9, 2018 in Mississauga. Primarily as a result of being stubborn, not following doctor's orders and just living life a little too hard for over seven decades - but what a ride it was. George was born on July 15, 1942 in Toronto. Predeceased by his parents Gladstone (Glad "Dempsey") and Ethel Thomson (nee: Simpson), his wife Sharon (nee: Bussell), his brother Garry and his sister Lois (Lolo) Noble. George leaves behind a garage full of stuff that could never be thrown out because one day there might be a use for it, his children Carolyn (Mike Ferjo) and Michael (Dorota) and grandchildren Zachary, Joshua, Brooke and Avery. He will be lovingly remembered by his sisters Bonnie (Harry) Tutin, Valerie Thomson and Suzi (Bill) Plunkett, his brother Ralph and his brother-in-law Jack Noble and many nieces, nephews, family and friends. George loved being the centre of attention, making people laugh and he will be remembered for his many jokes even if not always appropriate and the fact that he had a story to tell about everything. A special thanks to Dr. Asha Gupta, Janany, Pauline and Farah for their exceptional care. Friends may call at MEADOWVALE CEMETERY & FUNERAL CENTRE, 7732 Mavis Rd., Brampton (north of Hwy. 407 and south of Steeles Ave., 905-451-3716) on Sunday, October 14, 2018 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. Funeral Service to be held on Monday, October 15, 2018 at 11 a.m. with visitation 1 hour prior. Private cremation to follow. In George's memory, donations to the Credit Valley Hospital Palliative Care Unit or Heart House would be appreciated by the family. Please note George and Sharon's change of address, St. Stephen's Anglican Church Cemetery, 14946 Steeles Ave. E., Hornby, Ontario. For an online condolence please visit www.etouch.ca "Just My Luck"

I will never forget riding my Honda Interceptor next to George riding his Harley in Mississauga, we got some odd looks - I think we broke some unwritten rule but didn't care. George could always make me laugh and even bought a ticket to Toronto Supercross in 2007 to watch 7 year old Sam ride in the Junior KTM challenge race and after cheering him on - George left saying Sam was the only racer he went to see and he wasn't interested in the feature races. Great Friend, Great Man and always a Character ! Andrea, Jeff, Sam and Jordan Gaynor

George danced to the beat of his own "drum"! He was a fun great guy. We would reminisce about our happy yrs. in Streetsville. You will be missed.
