He was a charming host, guest, and steady, quiet support. He provided his family and loved ones with unquestioning, expert support for whatever we needed. He renovated countless homes, farms and art spaces leaving behind a huge contingent of grateful people and a belief that, with his support, we can create anything we put our minds to. He was also known as Doggie Dad to countless pets and especially his black Scottie, Maisie. George had a long and outstanding career in telecommunications, starting with the radio days of Motorola, and continuing through the introduction of commercial satellites and the internet revolution; he was the penultimate salesman. He was also a part time farmer and, upon retirement, he volunteered tirelessly at Christ Church, Ashton. George had a lifelong passion for model railroading and was overjoyed to finally play with the real thing at the Smith Falls Railway Museum (now known as the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario), where he volunteered for 20 years several as President.
