Our family has been friends and neighbours with George, for many years. We will miss our chats in the back yard on many occasions. He was a gentle and kind man. We will all miss him. Our sincere condolences to the family.

We lived across the hall from George and Peggy at Little Mountain Camp when George was doing his practice teaching in 1950. They were delightful neigbours. We remember Larry as a baby. With regret we read of George's passing.
