George was born in Toronto and left school in 1944 at age 18 to join the army. After serving in the army during WWII, George returned to school to complete his architectural training. Following his graduation he spent the next 10 years with several architectural firms working mostly on drawings for churches. He joined Bell Canada in Toronto in 1956 and spent the rest of his working career at Bell designing buildings for them.

George was devoted to his wife Betty, and particularly enjoyed spending time with her golfing, travelling, sailing on Lake Ontario and at their cottage on Musselman’s Lake.

Many thanks to the staff at Chartwell Wenleigh for their care and attention in George’s final years.
