Condolences
Dear David and family
I remember George at Camp Poundmaker solving problems and building things that were durable and attractive. George showed me how to install shingles on the roof of the lodge. He was patient and good with us kids after Hugh had his first heart attack, and brought you to Pigeon Lake where Hugh was hoping to retire. Hugh was fond of George and admired his practical skills. I remember visiting the house in Richmond Hill.. Bea used to chat in French with my mum Claire, who is still with us at 98. I’m sorry George and Bea are gone, and know their goodness lives in in you.

Deeds not words were George's contribution to the socialist movement. You could depend on him to come through. Whether it was a professionally mounted photo exhibit on Cuba -- in time for the newly minted Caribana celebrations, a three car garage at the YSF house, a new Vanguard Tour camper van, or the rebuilding of the new Queen St HQ -- George was always there -- a soft spoken giant. Pulling a thirty foot trailer, with his Beetle in third gear -- all the way from the Richmond Hill family home. For us middle class students George Bryant symbolized the steadfastness of the working class, and its ingenuity and endurance. Thank you George, your memory is very much alive!

It must be more than 40 years ago that I assisted George working on upgrading the stairs at 334 Queen St West in Toronto. I learned a bit about carpentry. And I recall his recollection of his time working midnight shift in the rail shops. In the summer he would leave work in the morning and go to a lake outside Toronto and settle down in a sleeping bag for his sleep.

David and Marg - I am so sorry to hear about George's passing. He was a great man! My thoughts are with you at this time.

I worked with George and Harry Paine in the summer of 72 building houses. A wonderful experience. George was famous for his instant coffee which consisted of equal parts of coffee, sugar and water! George was also a strong, revolutionary dedicated to the struggles of the Canadian working class!

George bought many knitted pairs of socks from me and I was lucky to heard his advice on making it a business... He was a great and gentle man. I am sure he will be greatly missed by all, myself included. May I be lucky enought to meet him on the next turn of the wheel.

George and Bea, were amazing.
I bought my first car from George, when he lived on #3 highway.
Kind, understanding, and patient.
My first big purchase as well....cash.
Best car I ever owned.
I learned a lot that day in his kitchen.
