My parents met George and Carol on an HF holiday many years ago. They kept in touch and met up again when Jennifer was undertaking her postgraduate degree in St Andrew’s University. When my husband and I moved to Toronto, they had the opportunity to meet again. They became good friends and enjoyed more holidays together along with dinners and movies when my parents visited Toronto. Myself, my husband John, and my 3 kids also became very fond of them, especially George’s fun and easy going nature. As Scots, we loved his sense of humour. We are all so sad to hear of his passing and will miss him.

Dear Carol:
I was so sad to hear of George's passing. We were colleagues at C.W. Jefferys for several years where he was a wonderful teacher and valued contributor to the school community.
I am sending my deepest condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely

I was proud to be part of George’s life at both Victoria Park and C.W.Jefferys. I was teaching at Vic Park for 3 years in the 80’s and regularly saw George on the Soccer Field with his “Girls”. He was always upbeat and was a kidder with a smile and always showed his love of coaching.
George arrived at C.W. Jeffreys as head of the Geography dept. in the mid 80’s involving himself in the Music Dept, Staff skits, graduation exercises and of course always being active on the soccer field .George never shied away from creating, launching and participating in many Geography field trips.
After retirement the Vic Park Social Group(CDR) would have outings each month in various locations in the GTA. This involved breakfast at McDonalds, a walking field trip in the area and finally back to the nearest pub for lunch. We always had to finish early so our retirees would arrive home early before rush hour and try to wind down from our stressful day.
I’ve included many photos from Vic Park and CWJ showing George’s love for teaching , sports and social celebrations.
We’ll miss you George and thank you for all the fond memories.

I was saddened to read of George's death in this morning's Globe. George and I were classmates in the Hons Geography programme @ WLU.('66). George was a wonderful, real down-to-earth, no pretensions, kind of a guy. The obit reference to his expressions of endearment for family members sounds typical.. Despite many frustrations, George never swore - "oh gosh", "by golly" were his strongest exclamations when he had to re-start an assignment as a result of an often minor ink error in our cartography classes. I last saw George at our 2016 Homecoming - see attached photo - George is dead centre in the back row, My deepest sympathies to his family.
