George PRENTICE

It haas taken me this long to write a message about my friend George. I I I still can't believe he is no longer with us. We shared so much with our interests in (60s) music, films and TV and I spent many a happy hour in his company reminiscing about the good old days'.
I will miss the blether, the endless cups of tea and choicie biscuits but most of all, I will miss the presence of a great man.

I knew George from work initially. He and Pat took me under their wings as I was so far from home and family. I remember their commitment to the YMCA and they got me involved too. Pat took care of me on her ward when I had my first son - and gave him his first bath which I never let him forget. George spent ages with my husband choosing the perfect song for our first dance at our wedding- I still have the cd they made of the shortlisted songs in my car which is my go to sing a long on my own in the car! I know how sad I am at this news so my thoughts go to you and all the family. RIP George I hope you are with Pat once again.

Sorry not to be there in the flesh but there in spirit. Margaret Mabey (cousin)

So sad to hear. I lived in Bellevue Road but knew George through the YMCA. A lovely man who was passionate about his music. Condolences to his family. Anne Maguire, Australia

My name is Peter Brown and I lived in Bellevue Gardens (No.22) in the 50's and 60's. George was my wee pal during that time and we shared adventures during our early years. I've added a photo which I am fairly sure is of George and me. As well as being neighbours we were both in the Scouts and I have a photo of the 11th Waverley Scouts trip to Konigsee near Salzburg. I'd be happy to forward this and others if requested. I left Edinburgh in 1969 for Cheshire but returned in 1989. By chance I met George briefly at a bus stop in the mid 90's.
My condolences to the family, sad to lose a good friend even if it was so long ago. RIP Peter
