Dear Janet, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your dad. I remember meeting him only once, years ago, but his wonderful demeanour and obvious kindness and joie de vivre made a deep and lasting impression on me. I know that you will be surrounded by love of your family and your beautiful memories of your dad. My deepest condolences to you and your family, Pat

Oh, Mary Ann, I'm so sorry. George was a gentleman of the old school and a genuinely fine person. I'll really miss running into the two of you on my visits to Lois and Jay Lutz in Southampton. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I'm thinking of you. Francie

I am blessed to have worked with at Out From the Cold. Reading over his obituary confirmed what I sensed in the short time we spent together. His was a life well lived. Something I aspire to.
My condolences to Mary Anne and the rest of his family.

George was a dear friend for many years. We played together before we could walk. George was a dedicated family man so rightly proud of his large family. He was also a mentor of mine; what would George do when I was confronted with a specific situation? As a skilled legal practitioner and negotiator of his profession he was example of the highest integrity; life as it is, not as it should be. His sense of humour always on the high side, never demeaning at others’ expense. Being so dedicated he was a loyal worker at “Out of the Cold” where he and Mary Ann served meals every week to those not so fortunate. Modest and unassuming reflect the many virtues of George. Community spirit was his way of life; “not for what you could get but what you could give”.

George Simpson was a special person in every way. To spend any time with George and Marianne was a wonderful, memorable occasion.
His kind, smiling presence will never, ever be forgotten.
God Bless him.....

In my memory, George will always be "the barrister". He was a brilliant and feisty litigator, but more than that, because his character exemplified the noble and best historical qualities of the law profession. He was a master of reason, with both a lightning, and an enlightened, mind. George received the honour of appointment to Queen's Counsel, a recognition of his skills as a courtroom gladiator, and, a reminder of the tremendous depth of his legal experience. But most of all, George was always humble and genuine. Although he had great abilities and laurels, and was of high station in life, George never suffered from pride or arrogance. He was always approachable, easy-going, and an honest and forthcoming friend to all who sought his advice and guidance. For his clients and his students, George was a solid rock of an island in a churning stress of litigation. His calm nature, steady and methodical approach to cases, his eloquent advocacy, and the occasional humorous wisecrack, made George the role model to be admired by all lawyers. "GACS" was a great mentor and friend. I am ever thankful for the time George gave to me, and I will truly miss him. The whole Malcolm family extends our greatest sympathies to Mary Ann, Nancy, Janet, Bruce, and their families, and as well, to all of George's colleagues at Simpson, Wigle.

I was 21 years old when I first started working at SimpsonWigle as Mr. Simpson's clerk. Mr. Simpson was the true definition of a gentleman who treated his entire staff with the highest respect and care. No matter how bad of a day you were having, hearing him whistle down the halls would immediately put a smile on your face. I'm blessed to have known you, even more blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from you. Rest in peace Mr. Simpson.

George was a fabulous guy who embodied everything good about humanity. Our family rented cottages from both George's family and that of his brother Ben too, and we also had many wonderful visits with George, Mary Ann, Nancy, Janet and Bruce in Hamilton when my three brother's and I were kids. George always set a high bar with his good humour and kindness.
A particular memory I enjoy is that of George up on the roof of the Southampton cottage repairing some flashing and being totally joyful up there, like a kid having fun.
My sincere condolences to the Simpson family, George was a gem of a husband and father.

I am very sorry to hear that George passed away.My condolences to the Simpson family. I had cases with George for about 40 years. George was a very well respected but tough litigator. When George took a position on a case he took it to the end. He always remained a gentleman and a student of the law. A couple of years ago,I had a Hamilton case that I appealed and was reported in the Ontario Reports. George contacted me and wanted to know the background and circumstances of the case which I passed on to him. Rat in peace George.

George was a great lawyer, a wonderful mentor and a hilarious raconteur. It was not that we met so often, it was that each meeting was so memorable.

When I heard the news of Uncle George's passing my wife Toni and daughter Caitlin family shed some heartfelt tears but more importantly we all couldn't help but smile at the thought of his life and what he meant to us his family, his friends and people who only might have crossed paths with him once in his life. He was so keenly interested in what you had to say and offered opinions only when asked. His eyes were always filled with compassion, empathy, curiosity, warmth, amazement, wonderment and he looked at you like you were the most important person in the world to him when he was talking with you. May he rest eternally in Peace knowing that he made a difference in the world and to his lovely wife Aunt Mary, Nancy, Janet and Bruce - thanks for sharing him with all of us.
John, Toni and Caitlin.
