George was a Commercial Traveller for several years living in Smith’s Cove, NS; Woodstock, and Saint John and ended his working years at Canada Post, retiring in 1990. Over the years he enjoyed curling (his team once curled a perfect “eight ender”), hunting, fishing, bowling, woodworking, playing cards and travelling (especially to Ontario, Florida, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI, and the Panama Canal). He was blessed with a multitude of friends who appreciated his sense of humour. Dad was a proud father, grandfather, and great grandfather and all will miss him.
