George Neil ELLIOTT

When I say George was an acquaintance, what I mean to say is that Mr. Elliott was pretty much acquainted with everyone. A true character, devoted to his community and supportive in so many ways. The fact that he was an artist, provided the means by which to document and preserve life in Peterborough, capturing the drum beat of a proud City in his translations of heritage buildings, landmarks, logos, and people. Mr. Elliott could always be counted upon to give a hand, lend support (who could...

I am sitting here in Yorkton Saskatchewan and was looking at one of the many George Elliott prints we have hanging in our home. I thought I would Google George too find out what he was up to only to see he passed away a week ago. George, you are one of a kind and will be missed on this earth but welcomed with open arms in heaven.

A true community leader with a smile for everyone. I clearly remember his induction into the Pathway of Fame. The entire Peterborough region is blessed with Georges legacies. My deepest sympathies.

I had the pleasure of growing up with George in church, high school and as a neighbour. We participated in many activities together whether it be skiing on some of Peterborough drumlin hills, skating at the Memorial Centre, numerous youth functions, track and field, etc. George was always competitive and ready for a challenge. Christmas often saw us engrossed in all-day monopoly games or struggling through Rook or Uno games with George and Carol. George was sometimes provocative causing one...

We are sad to hear of George's passing. He was a good friend and we will miss him. Our sincere condolences to the Elliott family and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Oh George and his great talent! He was always supportive of many of my creative projects as well as many many other people's projects and talents. Most of all, his wit and sense of humour made every one of our interactions fun, mixed with a blend of learning something new. He is one of the great Peterborians and will always be remembered for his local contributions - may he rest in piece.

For many years I swam with George at the Holiday Inn. He was a great story teller and a fun friend. We often chatted about dogs and horses, which he loved. He will be sadly missed. My deepest sympathy to the family.

We are sorry to hear about the passing of George. He was a kind , creative and loyal human being who brought joy to everyone who met him and had the opportunity to have one of his works.
All my family and Vanessas family (Stewart) knew George.
We have several pieces Of Georges work in our home.
May he Rest In Peace.

George, Norm, Trudy, Italia, Elizabeth and I made up a great team at the OMC Art Department. I think we were blessed to have the most fun (in my opinion) in the office. The people made it fun and we did very good work. George was a very accomplish artist, mostly self taught and his architectural renderings are nationally respected. his publishing partner (Examiner Editor) Ed Arnold and George produced some of the best illustrated books on Peterborough and his passion for local sports produced...
