Rita and Family: My sincerest condolences to all of you. George was one of the friendliest and happiest individuals that I had the great pleasure and honour to meet, visit with and of course to dance with. His spiritual presence will always be with the dancers at the Redcliff Legion.
Unfortunately, I have a commitment on the 22nd so can't attend his memorial. I will be thinking of you.
May the best of memories of your lives with George come back to you now, and help you through this time of loss and grief. That 'big smile' will be on his face as he watches over all of you from his eternal home.
God Bless each of you, Sincerely Linda

I used to work with George many years ago and we became fast friends. I absolutely adored this man. He exuded kindness, happiness and a genuine joy for life, and the world was better for him being here. I loved running into him once we both lived in Medicine Hat and always enjoyed our chats. Rest in peace George, sending heartfelt condolences to his family.
