GEORGE DAWSON On Friday, January 19, 2001, at the Concordia Hospital, George Dawson, dearly beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend, passed away at age 71 years. He will be sadly and lovingly remembered by his loving wife of 50 years, Angela; sons, Don (Irene), grandchildren, James (Trina) and Michelle; Brian; George (Annette), grandchildren, Jennifer, Matthew and Nicholas; daughters, Judy (Chris), Linda (Steve), grandchildren, Warren and Marcus. He is also survived by brother Jack and sister Hilda, both of Kelowna, B.C.; nephew Cliff (Shelia) and niece Val of Winnipeg. In his early years, he served 25 years in the Armed Forces until 1974. He went on to work at Acklands and retired in Edmonton in 1989. He then moved to Winnipeg to live out his retirement. Dad was a happy-go-lucky person, always there for anyone and best known for his love of music and loved a good joke; always a kind word for everyone.

George always amazed Me about how much He knew about a lot of things and always took the time to explain things to Me in great detail whenever I might ask Him about pretty much ANYTHING. He really had the "Gift of Gab" and was a very Sociable Man who really made one feel comfortable in His Home. A home where there was always lots of Warmth, Laughter and Wonderful, bountiful Food! - Posted by: Allan Bedry (Step-Grandson) on: Jan 21, 2016
