We were saddened to hear of Georges passing. We will miss his big smile when he was bringing us blueberries. Enjoyed his little visits. Our condolences go out to all the family. Judy and Terry Turner.

A real gentleman and I will miss him at McDonalds. R.I.P. George, you will be missed by many.

I have many good memories of George over the years: going to school with him at the Marquis School House where all the kids would ski to school in the winter, skiing the Kenogami Loppets with him in the 80s, and last but not least George not sharing his blueberry patch locations with me. Recently a few of us old time friends went to Georges with a Birthday Cake to celebrate his birthday. George played his Accordion; it was a really nice visit that we all enjoyed. I only wished we had did this more often. George will be missed. Sincere Condolences to Georges Family. Toivottavasti Siela on mustikoita taivaassa! Helen and Family

We will remember George, the very kind and warm hearted relative for us, far from Canada. George or Yrjö, as we called him, was a cousin to our father, but they never met. However, Yrjö met some other of his cousins when he visited in Finland and Yrjö was a good friend to them. We met Yrjö and now we are so pleased to have been known him. He was one of the few finnish speaking relatives and guide for us during our visit in Canada, some years ago. Also he was our guest in Finland, for a while. He was so familiar since the first moments. He got to live a long life. Our condolences to his family.

Sincere condolences to all of the family. I always enjoyed meeting George when he came to see Annie at Tweedsmuir and often at McDonalds or Pagoda. He would always tease me about keeping an eye on Annie when playing cards and scrabble. I would tell him she taught me so well that none of my friends will play the game with me. Rest in Peace George I will miss seeing your smile.

So sorry for your loss, Pat. I have know George for many years. He will be missed.

Our condolences to George`s family and his many friends. George always had a wonderful smile, and treated everyone equally. He always had time for a chat and was entertaining in his own special way. Rest in Peace.

I m sadden to hear that “Uncle George ” passed away. I met him in the late 80 s . We would always catch up on what was going on in our lives. He was a good man never said bad things or even swear . RIP George. Condolences to his family and those who were blessed to know him. xo…

I never met Georges but I believe he was a friend of my father’s – and that he built the sleep camp at Len’s Temagami cottage. He was liked and respected by Len and his family. I am so sorry for this loss.

George , my cousin, I will miss you so much…your knowledge of anything was priceless, you lived your life to the fullest and that was a true blessing…may you rest in peace with the rest of our family <3 condolences going out to my cousins Pat, Sue, Esther and John….love you all

With heavy hearts we know that we will never be treated again to our wonderful visits with George.

I met George many years ago while working in the bush. I never saw him without his permanently fixed smile. He was a gentle fellow and when you made friends with him , you had the best. There is a void now that can never be filled. I miss you Sir.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of George. My heart goes out to all of the family
