Our condolances to Carol and family.
Unfortunately, I did not get to know my uncle well as he lived a long way away but he always struck me as some one who I could really relate to. I remember him as being hard-working, independent and fun-loving.

It was so very special to have Uncle George come out to Penticton last fall and spend time with his sisters and us.
Due to the physical distance, we children never got to know our uncle very well. But last fall, my husband and I were able to get to know him and hear about the good ol’ days of growing up, the war days overseas, his months in Kelowna following the war and his transition to Toronto and becoming a married man. I just wish we could have known him sooner. He was a very special man and
