I have just heard of George's passing. I am very sorry. I have known George for most of my life. He was a very good friend to my Dad (Gord) and we had the pleasure of learning how to make pizzas at Gondola, where he made my brother and I feel like part of the family. Uncle George's laughter was always larger than life. With just a simple smile, you knew you were in his heart. - Posted by: Dana Richardson (Andersen) (Long time friend) on: Nov 21, 2013

I had the great pleasure of having a Christmas dinner with George Sr. at his lovely home with his wonderful family one year, then I had the honor of having him at my home with my family. He was a kind man with lots of life experiences which we were grateful to have him share with us, his demeanor reminded me of my own father especially his caring way of the love that he showed for his family. My condolences to each and every member in his family and friends. I know his kind smile and big heart will be greatly missed by all who new him. Forever in my thoughts, Bonnie - Posted by: bonnie legere (friend of oldest son george) on: Nov 20, 2013
