George Park died in his sleep on 28 November 2015, from a glioblastoma. A fighter pilot during WWII, he was a professor of anthropology at Memorial University of Newfoundland from 1969 to his retirement in 1990. George was a teacher who impacted many lives and was much loved. His research in Norway and East Africa and his vast reading provided an endless source of inspiration.

He is survived by his daughter Laura and sons Geoffrey and Thomas as well as his grandchildren Nathaniel, Alicia, Thea and Sophia and his great-grandchildren Danny and David.
