George Thomson Obituary
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba June 10, 1941. George was a man of vision, moving to Vancouver Island in 1972, he founded Paradise Island Cheese, proud of Nanaimo's community spirit and beauty.
George's passion for life included extensive travel, motorcycle trips and many adventures on the water. His love for family and friends was apparent in every aspect of life.

We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Beerman for his love and incredible support. We are grateful for the care and compassion provided by the palliative care unit.
