George was a cheerful, devoted and loving husband and father who placed great value on, and experienced great joy in, creating a happy home for his dear wife and children. He worked tirelessly to raise his children well and to nurture his relationships with family and friends. George deeply enjoyed the game of hockey as both a participant and fan. He organized shinny hockey in Landmark for many years. He also greatly enjoyed the summers he spent outdoors at his trailer at various campsites on Lake Winnipeg. George was very involved in Aboriginal spirituality, and encouraged Devon and Savanah to embrace their heritage through dancing, drumming and actively participating in pow wows in Canada and the United States. In addition to being a faithful Catholic, George embraced these teachings in his life journey, as well.
