I was saddened to hear of Geroge's death upon my recent return from Nova Scotia. A quick wit, he was forever asking good questions... making me think and question more. I will miss you dear friend. Shalom. - Posted by: Roberta Bishop (friend) on: Mar 23, 2013

My heart is broken at the news of George's passing away. Over the twenty years that I knew George he provided tireless strength and remarkable skills to help people fight for justice. He never recieved a penny from us for his efforts but we will forever be grateful for his work and remember him with love. Thank-you George. - Posted by: Roma Hart (friend) on: Mar 06, 2013

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to members of George's family. Although I did not get to know George well as he had only started to attend the Flin Flon luncheons a couple of years ago, he always had a story to tell about days gone by when he lived in Flin Flon. We will miss his presence at our gatherings at the Viscount Gort Hotel. Sincerely, Pat Stefanchuk - Posted by: Pat Stefanchuk (friend from the Flin Flon luncheon group) on: Mar 03, 2013
