GEORGE MILNE April 13, 1919 to November 22, 2006 George James Milne died peacefully in his sleep at the Victoria General Hospital on Wednesday, November 22, 2006 at the age of 87. He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years Mary; by his three sons, Bob (Val), Jim and Bill (Monique); and by his four grandchildren, Alison, Whitney, Nick and Chris. He was predeceased by his parents, Roy and Jessie. Dad worked his entire career in the airline industry. He received his aeronautical engineering diploma in England, spent some years with the Ferry Command during the war, started with TCA (Trans Canada Airlines), stayed on as TCA became Air Canada, and completed 36 years and eight months in their employ. His working years took him to North Bay, Swift Current, Winnipeg and Montreal, where he retired before moving back to Winnipeg in 1992. Dad will be remembered for his honesty, his pride of character, and his support to his family. Cremation has already taken place, as has a private memorial service. George was laid to rest in Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens. Thanks go out to the 4th floor staff at Victoria General Hospital for all their care in the last month of Dad's stay with them. Should anyone so desire, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.
