GEORGE STANLEY WHILLIER Peacefully on August 2, 2005 with his daughters at his side, George Stanley Whillier went to be with the Lord from his home at Deer Lodge Centre, Winnipeg. George was predeceased by his loving wife of 57 years Laura. He is survived by his daughters, Lorna and Lorraine; his grandchildren, Crystal, Wendy, Tony, Larry, Jannetje, Bryan, Kirk, Kevin, and Susanne as well as 25 great-grandchildren. George was born in Brandon, MB on July 3, 1918. He served with the 2nd Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry over seas in England during The Second World War, and was a loyal employee of City and Silverwood's dairies for 41 years until his retirement. George was an avid Rock Hound and a member of the Rock Of Ages Club of Winnipeg. George's love for the Lord was evident in the later years of his life and the old gospel hymns were his comfort and joy. The family would like to extend a special thank-you to the wonderful staff of Deer Lodge Centre for their kindness and consideration that went above and beyond all expectations of both George and his family. The funeral service will be held at the Klassen Funeral Home, 1897 Henderson Hwy., Winnipeg on Saturday, August 6.
