George wore many hats throughout his life: ship's cook, soldier, coal miner, flour miller, baker, chef, butcher, hotelier, and owned and operated several businesses. He loved his long retirement with 'Mom', travelling and wintering in Florida. He was a legendary gardener and sausage maker and enjoyed fishing and playing cards. George loved his Hungarian heritage, and contributed countless hours cooking for the church and his cultural community. Memorial Mass and reception at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, September 30, 2017, St. Anthony of Padua Church, 365 Burnell.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I will always remember all the adventures with grandpa, from fishing off the riverbank in Winnipeg or in the ocean in Florida, seeing the treasures through a glass bottom boat or ridding the garden of slugs with salt. I will always cherish the memories of time spent together and the tales of your life which was so very different and full of taking the path less traveled. With love, Lisanne - Posted by: Lisanne Cindric (Granddaughter) on: Sep 27, 2017
