So sorry to hear about Uncle George’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with Aunt Grace; Robin, Danny and family; Chris and Sandra; and the other members of the family.
A funny memory that has stayed with me through the years, we were visiting Uncle George and Aunt Grace from Ontario, and Uncle George was showing us his handcuffs and leg irons. To demonstrate the leg irons, he out my younger brother John, in them and pretended to lose the key.
So sorry to hear the passing of George. Our deepest condolences to you and your family.
My thoughts have been with you all this week, especially today, I am glad I was able to watch the service live as I was unable to attend, it was truly a lovely service, and the stories about George, ( Dad, Grandpa and Uncle to Many) were so telling of how much he was loved and will be missed. So glad I got to meet him and enjoy his humor I will have a beer tonight in his honor. Love Penny
Grace, Robin, Chris and family
