George was born November 20, 1917, at his parents homestead at Ledwyn, MB and attended Tarno School. As a young man, he worked on the family farm and in logging camps. George married Maria (Kristinnson) November 6, 1943. He farmed at Bjarmi and in 1950 moved his family to Geysir where he continued farming for the next 37 years. In the early 1960s he realized his ambition of operating a dairy farm with his wife and sons. He retired from the farm in 1987, but continued to help whenever he could for several years. George enjoyed family times and the company of many friends. He was very proud of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and loved their visits and hearing their news. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 2 at 2:00 p.m. at the Geysir Community Hall with Pastor Claire Speary officiating. Pallbearers are his grandchildren, Tim, Rene, Loreen, Tracey, Mark and Lorne. Flowers are gratefully declined, but donations may be made in his memory to the Manitoba Lung Association, or a charity of your choice. Arborg (MacKenzie) Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
