GEORGE CURTIS 1920 - 2011 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of George on December 19, 2011 at Victoria General Hospital. George is survived by his wife Dorothy; daughter Barb (Jerry); sons Wayne (Francine) and Gary (Debbie); grandchildren Tawnie, Brendan, Cheryl, Paul, Nadine, Kyle and Stephanie; great-grandchildren Samantha, Katlyn and Rylan. George is predeceased by his daughter Carol Curtis (Wright) 1946 to 1978; brother Howard; parents Charlie and Emma Curtis. Dad was born on July 11, 1920 and was raised in Winnipeg, MB. He met our mom Dorothy while working at Curtis Tire. They were married for 68 years. Our dad was a second generation owner/partner of Curtis Tire Service until he retired in 1980. Dad enjoyed many winter holidays in Florida and all the years at Star Lake Family Cottage starting in 1949. We enjoyed many fun times golfing at Kingswood, fishing at Star Lake, popcorn and Toronto Maple Leaf TV hockey games, short trips to Lockport and annual golf holidays in Phoenix, Arizona. He was an active member of Cosmopolitan Club many years ago. Thank you dad for the fun at the Shanghai Restaurant every Sunday. Dad kept his fantastic sense of humour until close to the end at the Victoria General Hospital. He was teasing, talking and entertaining Dr. Cavers, Dr. Munsamy and many nurses. Thank you to all the staff of Victoria General Hospital, 5th Floor South. A private family service was held Thursday, December 22, 2011. Donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
