I am so sorry to hear about GEORGE. I met George back in 1977 and bought my first vehicle from Him. I ended up buying a total of four vehicles. George was a great person and i will miss him.

I am sorry to hear this news. I only met George a few times but remember him fondly. We have the family in our thoughts at this difficult time.

I worked with George for several years at Lakehead Motors!I always remember his words of wisdom and his great sense of humour!A very well respected gentleman!My condolences to all family members and close friends!

When my Mom was looking for a car in 1985, we were surprised she chose to go to Lakehead Motors, as we had never driven their models before. She was very impressed with George; when he came out and helped her get it started on a cold saturday morning in a parking lot a few weeks later, we were all impressed with George. He sold our family over a half dozen vehicles until he retired, and my Dad always enjoyed taking George for breakfast, even after retirement. He was the best at customer...

Many condolences. I will always remember him as a very kind and devoted man. Even though he will be greatly missed, always keep all the wonderful memories in your hearts.
Take care.
Many hugs.
