George Philip Gregory SPRINGATE

Alors que de 1986 à 1993, j'étais responsable des Relations Communautaires GRC au Québec (aujourd'hui) Relations Publiques, George et moi étions en constantes communications tels que:
Collectes de fonds avec Jeunesse au Soleil (Sun Youth Organization), défilés de toutes sortes avec ou sans la Troupe d'Honneur, présence de l'Ours Prudent pour évènements sportifs dont il était généralement l'organisateur, présence en uniforme à l'assermentation des postulants à la citoyenneté canadienne et j'en passe.
Durant ces années, George (monsieur le juge Springate) devrais-je dire, était devenu un étroit collaborateur et ami fidèle. Sa bonne humeur, sa générosité et son respect singulier pour la communauté canadienne m'ont inspiré un admiration sans borne pour cet humaniste qu'il était.

A sa famille, mes condoléances.

George was my mentor to me. Class of 1985 John Abbott College, Police Technology program and civil law courses at Concordia University. Wrote my application recommendation letter for McGill law school. Rest in Peace George. Thanks for your kind thoughts and my being a strong individual today thanks to you. Deepest condolences to Judy and family.

Great man and teacher. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

I only knew George Springate for a short five year period of his outstanding career. It was when George was Canadas Senior Citizenship judge the lead one of about 30 members who served across Canada.
George was attentive, demanding and fun to be around.
I was fortunate to share his company more regularly since he worked closely with the RCMP headquartered in Regina and would invite me to his convocation addresses to their graduates. We would have an ongoing bet on the table whenever the Alouettes of the Anthony Calvillo era and the Saskatchewan Roughriders would play.
He was a proud Canadian, bilingual, and constantly spoke to new citizens about how fortunate they are now with their rights and freedoms protected by the rule of law. And, of course, he did so in a most engaging manner.
Canada has lost one of its grander guys!
