George was a WW II veteran who proudly served his country in the Black Watch RHR of Canada, 1st Battalion (1941-45). George was only 19 when he enlisted and rose to the rank of sergeant. He loved his time overseas and cherished the good friends and memories.
Thanks to his dad, upon returning home he was employed by Canadair in Time Studies followed by a job with Northern Electric. He later joined his brother-in-law, Jack Thorburn, at Thorburn Mill Supply (1959-88) where he found that his passion was in sales, retiring as Vice President.
George was known for his love of family, love of animals (especially his poodles), sense of humour, honesty and the ability to make anyone look good on the dance floor. He was married to his beloved wife Arline (Thorburn, 2010) for 62 years. George was a caring father to Nancy (Martin)/Bryan and Douglas/Gonny (van Straten). He was also a loving and encouraging grandfather to Shaun, Jordan, Garrett, Kristine, Will, Lisanne and Yvonne. George was predeceased by his sister Bernice.
