Dear all
I was sorry to hear of George's passing. I suppose everyone knew that his time was near. I hope his passing was peaceful. He was always a pleasure to converse with and will be missed, especially on Beaver Weekends.

I have been so blessed to have such amazing relatives who have inspired me all my life. Uncle George was one of them. When I got the chance to watch him working I noticed he worked with such dedication, detail and integrity, which is why he was so sought after as a contractor. Or when he was in conversation with his friends and family members, you could tell he was truly listening to what the person was saying and his responses were right on. He was a wonderful father and husband. I loved how he was always involving people and family in projects that benefited so many people. I always love the way my cousins would all get together to build something and then have a great party. Uncle George was not a drinker but he always seemed to enjoy the gathering. He will be missed by many, one of whom will be me.
