It's been 14 years. Dad, I miss you. It seems like only yesterday you're walking into my house and asking what's for dinner. I am taking care of Mom and she's doing okay
Love always and forever, Linda

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for your great loss. George was a kind and gentle man who's greatest love was to share a smile and to laugh at our journey's trials and troubles, a true "gentleman".  He often said just the right thing to lift my spirits when things weren't going all that well. He is one of my GM associates who will always be fondly remembered.

I was blessed to know and love George for my whole life. I have such fond memories of him that bring a smile to my face as he had such an incredible sense of humour. I will always remember him referring to me affectionately as Janis Panis!
I will never forget his generous, loving, humourous and kind spirit that will continue to live on in all of those who loved him.
He was a second father to me. His guidance, support and love mean more than words can express.
My heart goes out to Audrey, Heather, Jeff, Logan, Callum, Linda, Matthew, Nigel, Dylan, Larry, Lori, Scott, Paul and to all who were touched by him.
I want you to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. May beautiful memories comfort you always during this time of sorrow.

Love,
Janis xoxoxo

Heather...to hear you speak of your Dad is a testimony as to how great a father he was. I hope you and your family will find some comfort knowing that your father was born with an amazing gift of charisma and that somewhere he is still entertaining others and sharing that incredibly captivating personality of his. Thinking of you all. Kelly

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to you in your time of loss.         Sincerely,  Eric and Karen Bock

They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal; but neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, that lies beyond our smiles; no one knows how many times, we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, so there won't be any doubt - you're so wonderful to think of, but so hard to be without.
My thoughts are with you Larry and your family

Sincere condolences to your and your Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Sorry to learn about your Father, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your Family at this time

George will never be forgotten, as a neighbour, golf partner, and friend.  He always had a story to tell and a hugh smile on his face.  Our thoughts are with him and all the family.

Mrs. Ritchie, Linda, Larry, Paul, Heather and families:  We were so very sad to hear of your loss.  Mr. Ritchie (as he will always be known to us) was larger than life; so devoted to family and friends.  As "dooryard" neighbours in Ste. Therese, childhood memories include his visits, full of laughter and bonhomie. When you lose a parent, you lose a best friend.  Thinking of you, Cathy (Bertrand), Kenneth and Victoria Pike, Rothesay New Brunswick

Our thoughts are with you and George will never be forgotten. He was always great company and a very special Uncle. 
From Sheena,Neil, Michael, and Iain, and all the Gordon family in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Heather your dad was an amazing man and will never be forgotten. Jeff and I would like to send our deepest condolences to your family.

Big Hugs to you all

Love Rhonda and Jeff
