His grandchildren Brandie, Candace, Lindsey, Jordan, Tim, Melissa, Tyler, Jayden, Alyssa, Nicolette, and his great grand daughter Chloee. After George's retirement from the City of Winnipeg he took a few months off and decided this was not for him, so he found himself working part time for Gardwine Transport. Each winter George and Paulette took a couple of months off and went to Yuma, Arizona to visit his son and family returning home via Brooks, Alberta where they spent time with his daughter and her family. Anyone who knew George knew he had a love for life and people. George spent countless hours volunteering his time at the Eagles Club on Pembina Hwy where he organized countless fund raisers from sports tournaments to dinners, to meat draws. George's absence will be greatly missed.
