George was predeceased by his mother and father; sisters, Trudy, Dorothy and Christine. He is survived by his loving wife Doreen (Dodie) and his four children, John, Grant (Lorene), Laura (Dave), Dianne (Bob) grandson Devan and granddaughters, Annie and Shayla. He also leaves behind his brother Jack; along with several nieces and nephews. George was born on April 26, 1928, in North Bay, ON. The family moved to Winnipeg four years later where he remained for the rest of his life. He attended Grosvenor School, Robert H. Smith, Kelvin High and University of Manitoba. Throughout his business career he was involved in sales and management including 13 years as the owner of Motor Sales. George was a member of the Winnipeg Squash and Racquet Club for over 50 years. An avid player in his younger years, he continued play into his 70s. The family would like to thank Dr. Pacin for his care and understanding. Sincerest thanks to the nurses and staff at the Victoria General Hospital for their kindness and support.
