George was a WWII veteran, having served overseas in the RCAF, the RAF and the Royal Canadian Navy as a commissioned officer. He retired from Stelco in 1987 after 46 years as a chemist. George loved his family, his golf and he especially loved going to the casino. He took great pride in defying his age and truly believed that 98 was just a number. He was a hell-of-a-dancer, a true charmer and will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
