George O'Neill Obituary

GEORGE O'NEILL, S.J. JESUIT 1943 - 2020 George Arthur O'Neill of the Society of Jesus died very peacefully on April 29, 2020 at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital in Pickering, ON. Born in Kitchener, Ontario, he was the son of George Charles O'Neill and Clara Theresa McElhone. He was 77 years old and in his 57th year as a Jesuit. Taught by the Resurrectionist Fathers at St. Jerome's High School and College in Kitchener, he later taught in Jesuit High Schools in St. John's and in Montreal. He worked as a librarian at Regis College in Toronto. He was a creative photographer and writer who captured the goodness of all around him. George was very close to his parents and to his sister Jan McInnes, and really cared about all his relatives. He was proud to claim 45 years of sobriety! Funeral celebrations will be delayed to a later date. Arrangements have been made through Rosar-Morrison Funeral Chapel (Toronto). As your expression of sympathy, a donation may be made to the Jesuit Advancement Office, 43 Queen's Park Cres. E., Toronto, ON M5S 2C3, (416-481-9154).

I was very sad to read about Fr. Georges death. He was a lovely fellow. George was my date for my senior prom in 1962 and we had a wonderful time. I expect he will be sorely missed by his family. I later married a friend of his, John Kuntz and George left after university to enter the priesthood. I hope he had a happy life.

I extend my condolences to his family. it has been 7 years since I last saw George in Pickering. We sometimes had lunch together when I visited another friend. Both being from Kitchener gave us something in common. He was always very welcoming.

My deepest condolences to the family for their loss. I served breakfast and lunch to George for a very long time and I will always remember his morning smile and comments of gratitude for his meals. George favourite dessert was lemon tarts which he always commented on when served.

I was very sorry to read of George's passing. My memories go way back to grade school and high school in Kitchener. Having gone to an all girls high school, we always had boys from St. Jerome's help with our school plays and George and his buddies David and Max were always the one's that were there. When we graduated high school, George was my date for the graduation dance! Once again, condolences to the family and I'm sure George had a very fulfilling life following the time I knew him.
