Q: How would you describe George to someone who had never met them?
A: I grew up playing hockey with Elliott and have many fond memories of seeing George on frosty weekend mornings at the rink, like the early mornings at the York arena when it was so cold my skate laces were frozen solid and there was a thick fog on the ice. George had great patience, I never once saw him lose his temper, never saw him yell at a referee, he was always fun and encouraging. As fun as he was as one of the parents on the hockey team, he was an even better chef. He loved cooking and prepared intricate meals. I always felt guilty because one Christmas he made me Szechuan dumplings because he knew I loved them, and sent me home with a big bag of dumplings. They're a fairly difficult thing to make homemade and they were incredible. That night I had too much to drink and slipped and fell on the ice on the way home. The next day I couldn't find the dumplings and figured I lost them in the snow when I fell. I told George about it later on and I'll never forget the look of dismay on his face, although George had a great sense of humour and I'm sure he found a way to laugh at it. Well, much later on - like years later - I found those dumplings. I had put them in the freezer at home and they fell down in the back. They were frozen as solid as a brick. I'll never forget that. So if I would describe George to someone who had never met him, I'd say he was like a second family to me, very kind and generous, funny, patient, lover of literature, and could made a Szechuan dumpling so delicious it would blow your hair back! If you're watching this George I hope you're proud of the person I became. What a long strange trip it's been.

I remember George as a great father, loving husband and good friend! George was an excellent photographer and editor and took great pride in his work. George loved to cook, and to barbecue. His cooking skills were top notch, and I still remember waiting for and savouring his home cooked meals. George loved his Weber barbecue, and spent a lot of time perfecting his barbecue technique. George will be missed by Glenn, Scott, Tim and Colin, in Ontario.

My deepest sympathy to Wendy, Elliot and Family.
I worked with George at NANB for more years than I can remember. He was a truly lovely person: kind; compassionate and generous. He had a quiet, gentle manner and a wicked sense of humour. It is a privilege to have known you George.
May you rest in peace.
