George L. Cameron

Cameron, George Lewis-Age 68, passed away in Port Hood at home on Tuesday, February 9, 2016, surrounded by family. George was born in Inverness on March 6, 1947, and was a son of the late Roy and Elizabeth (Davis) Cameron.

George is survived by his wife of 47 years, Margie (MacIsaac) Cameron; children, Cathy (Kevin) Legault, Passekeag, New Brunswick; Roy, Port Hood; and George M. (Melissa), Little Judique. George is also survived by brothers, Wilson (Alexina), Cregnish; Norman (Ann Marie), Halifax; sisters, Elva (Don) Yarmouth; Ruth (Joey), Alberta; his special mother in-law Grandma Kay, Inverness; several nieces and nephews.

George worked at the pulp mill in the 1970s and then decided to become a fisherman because of his love of the outdoors. He fished with Donald Cameron and for many years with Jason MacEachern until George’s retirement.

George loved life, and he lived his life his way. He loved the outdoors, horse racing, hunting, fishing, and walking in the woods. He could tell a good story and was well- loved within his community. He was a jack of all trades and always lent a helping hand to neighbours.

Of all the things George loved, his grandsons,Christopher (Stacy), Saint John, NB, and Ryan and Luke, Little Judique; were at the top of his list. He was their Poppa, and he was so proud of his great-grandson “Little Owen.” George had so many good friends, and had a special bond with Gary Spears, Jason MacEachern, and his racing buddy Paul Cannon.

George’s family knows in their hearts that he rode the jet stream straight to heaven with no stops along the way, and met his old buddy Frankie at the finish line.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, February 14 in Port Hood and Area Resting Place from 7-9 p.m. Funeral service will be held on Monday at 11 a.m. in St. Stephen's United Church, Port Hood with Pastor Maggie Plant celebrating. Burial to take place at a later date.

It was his wish for donations to be made in his memory to St. Stephens United Church, Port Hood.
