  • Dear Jeanette and family,
    We are so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of visiting Rondeau as a child and stopping in to visit you and George. You always had the best cookies and uncle George always had the funniest jokes. He will be greatly missed. Sending our love. Gillian and Luke xo

  • Jeanette, Linda, Brad, Kim and families.
    We have many good memories of George and family. Whenever we saw him at Tim Horton’s he would call us over so he could tell us a story that he remembered from the past involving him and someone in our family. He always gave you something to laugh about. He will be missed.

  • Sorry to hear of George's passing. My husband Peter, has many fond memories of George sharing stories at Tim Horton's in Ridgetown. On the rare occasions when I would get up early on a Saturday or Sunday to go to Timmies' with Peter, George always had a smile for me. He would tell Peter, "You better be treating her well" and we would laugh. George was a one of a kind, his smile and laugh will be missed.

  • I was so sad to hear about George. I have so many memories of the times our families spent together growing up. From even before we got the cottages I remember snowmobiling, a big container of spicy bubblegum, your fireplace in the basement and then we got the cottages and made so many more happy memories. The campfires and the singing and story telling. My Dad and George coming up on Friday night with the huge bags of corn. Please know that I am thinking of all of you, Jeannette, Linda, Brad and Kim and your families. I am sending love and hugs. XO

  • I was so sorry to hear of George's passing. I remember George visiting with us up north while on his hunting trips, and the visits were always entertaining, with he and Moe swapping funny stories. It doesn't matter how old we are or the circumstances involved, it is never easy to lose someone we love. My thoughts are with your family at this time. Please take care.

    Sorry to hear of George's passing. Before covid you could always see George at Tim Horton's and say hi. Know that you are all in our thoughts during this difficult time.
